Analysis on Cloud-Based Security Vulnerability Assessment

Infrastructure as a service: Exploring network access control challenges

“…Moreover, massive attacks may compromise virtual firewall if they originate from outside the virtual domain [59]. The virtual firewall side effect can be mitigated if a proper firewall is designed among virtual machines and suitable firewall policies are defined [51]. Table 1 indicates the two approaches discussed regarding firewall systems administration in IaaS, which are centralised and distributed.…”

“…Therefore, the firewall policy management area is an evolving research field, as policy correctness and consistency among firewall systems is an essential element for enhancing firewall security [49,50]. To get a cloud firewall policy configuration pattern, intensive experiments are needed to make security policy complete [51]. Therefore, several researchers are concerned with improving firewall policy strategies; for example, the Tree-Rule firewall, which uses the NF-IP-FORWARD algorithm to improve the performance of firewalls in cloud policy configurations [52].…”

A Systematic Mapping Study of Empirical Studies on Software Cloud Testing Methods

“…Another vulnerability assessment approach [46], applies three different scenarios to explain how the cloud affects the security vulnerability. A model-driven approach is shown in [47] to facilitate the creation of security configurations.…”

A New Trust Model in Cloud Computing Environments

“…Huan, et al, [4] investigate the different security vulnerability assessment methods for cloud environments. Experiments show that more vulnerabilities are detected if vulnerable tools and servers are in the same LAN.…”
