The Cloud Security Alliance lists data theft and insider attacks as critical threats to cloud security. Our work puts forth an approach using a train, monitor, detect pattern which leverages a stateful rule based k-nearest neighbors anomaly detection technique and system state data to detect inside attacker data theft on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) nodes. We posit, instantiate, and demonstrate our approach using the Eucalyptus cloud computing infrastructure where we observe a 100 percent detection rate for abnormal login events and data copies to outside systems.

Organizations have increasingly deployed wireless local area networks (WLANs) due to the benefits they can have such as mobility and flexibility. Unfortunately, the usage of wireless networks has raised many security concerns due to its capability of mobility. For instance, wireless networks are susceptible to many attacks such as eavesdropping, traffic analysis, data tampering and denial of service (DoS). Our study aims to identify a variable that moderates the effect of the usage of wireless local area networks (WLANs) on the occurrence of data breaches. Therefore, we propose a model that provides a basis for identifying the impact of meaningful-use …
