Novel Light Weight Defense Framework for DDoS Attack in Cloud Environment

Abstract

In order to identify harmful attacks against cyber systems, a monitoring technique is essential. Identifying distributed denial of service (DDOS) and denial of service (DOS) attacks is a critical security issue for network technology. Businesses are turning to the cloud, a highly-available platform, for all of their information technology demands. Because it is a platform that is frequently utilized, cyber-attacks target it frequently. A serious threat to cloud computing is distributed denial of service (DDoS), which involves attacking cloud apps, bandwidth, and resources to make services unavailable. Several botnets attack the victim of a denial-of-service attack (DDoS) by sending a large number of bogus IP requests to the server. Numerous techniques have been put forth for the detection and avoidance of network anomalies since their discovery in 1980. This study provides a background of DDoS attack detection methods in past decade and a survey of some of the latest proposed strategies to detect DDoS attacks in the cloud, the methods are further compared for their detection accuracy.
