A Taxonomy for SLA-Based Monitoring of Cloud Security

A fast analysis of the state-of-the-art can show that SLA-based Cloud security monitoring services are not yet available. SLA-based Cloud monitoring services are oriented towards performance monitoring, while the current Cloud security monitoring is not SLA-based. In order to design and implement such a service a first step is the identification of the basic requirements. The taxonomies available for the fields of Cloud computing, monitoring, security and SLAs are expected to be used. This short note proposes a visual taxonomy intended to serve the design of an SLA-based Cloud security monitoring.
