Behavioral Features of Users as a Security Solution in Cloud Computing

A large number of establishments and organizations implement clouds to store their databases. More active attacks are used on clouds to get unauthorized access or to do harmful actions that may affect on user’s privacy. Therefore, many studies have proposed to increase the level of security in the clouds depended on several strategies. The behavior is one of the promising strategies that might prevent unauthorized or processes. In this paper, a set of features, are from several previous studies, and these features are based on the user activity and events in a special purpose cloud by which unauthorized process can be prevented and alert user about bad actions during his/her work in the cloud environment. The results of comparison show that the event-based features require less resources and time. Thus, they need to be enhanced by adding more informative features, or some available features form other strategies.
