SAIDS: A Self-Adaptable Intrusion Detection System for IaaS Clouds

IaaS clouds allow customers (called tenants) to deploy their IT as virtualized infrastructures. However IaaS clouds features, such as multi-tenancy and elasticity, generate new security vulnerabilities for which the security monitoring must be partly run by the cloud provider to give visibility at the virtualization infrastructure level. Unfortunately the same IaaS clouds features make the virtualized infrastructures frequently reconfigurable and thus affect the ability of a provider-run security monitoring system to detect attacks.
