Performance of Network Intrusion Detection Systems in Cloud Computing: A Review

Cloud computing has enabled organizations to get rid of the infrastructural cost and increase the service availability. However, the risks associated with the openness and resource sharing of the cloud presents serious security challenges. Intrusion Detection System acts as a monitoring and alerting system against the security breaches. However, such a system needs to be efficient and generate least false alarms. This paper reviews the Intrusion Detection Systems proposed during the year 2015-2020 and evaluates their performance based on Accuracy, Detection Rate and False Positive Rate. This work also highlights the average performance of Intrusion Detection Systems during the period of study and method that resulted in best performance.
