ICAS: An inter-VM IDS Log Cloud Analysis System

Cloud computing can reduce mainframe management costs, so more and more users choose to build their own cloud hosting environment. In cloud computing, all the commands through the network connection, therefore, information security is particularly important. In this paper, we will explore the types of intrusion detection systems, and integration of these types, provided an effective and output reports, so system administrators can understand the attacks and damage quickly. With the popularity of cloud computing, intrusion detection system log files are also increasing rapidly, the effect is limited and inefficient by using the conventional analysis system. In this paper, we use Hadoop's MapReduce algorithm analysis of intrusion detection System log files, the experimental results also confirmed that the calculation speed can be increased by about 89%. For the system administrator, IDS Log Cloud Analysis System (called ICAS) can provide fast and high reliability of the system.
