Cloud service providers should ensure that user information remains private from other people (external or internal). Deployment of an intrusion detection system (IDS) is a technique to protect the cloud from existing security and intrusion threats. Due to the high traffic volume and the need for flexibility and the diversity of applications in a cloud environment, a distributed IDS is used to apply traffic management, and provide scalability concurrently. The challenge is to propose a method of load balancing that distributes input traffic among IDS sensors, and optimally balance the workload on the sensors, to improve the overall performance of the IDS, with minimum degradation in quality. In this paper, a load balancing method is presented which TI - A Collaborative Load Balancer for Network Intrusion Detection in Cloud Environments JF - Journal of Computers DO - 10.17706/jcp.12.1.28-47 DA - 2017-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/a-collaborative-load-balancer-for-network-intrusion-detection-in-cloud-r40vmnVmBk DP - DeepDyve ER -
