Dynamic Firewall Rule Building Engine for Hybrid Cloud

Abstract

Growth in the cloud computing resource management aspects have also increases the risks associated with the services hosted on the cloud.The foundational challenges are firstly to accommodate the ease of access without violating the security aspects and the time constraints to provide service responses on time, to provide the security to the active services. A good number of researches are observed to achieve the best firewall security to the hosted services. Nonetheless, the existing methods are often criticised for higher complexity and the non-performing aspects for the newer attack types. Henceforth, this work aims to solve the existing research bottlenecks. The proposed work firstly aims to solve the higher complexity of the deployed strategy by reducing the attribute sets with a sense of accuracy, time complexity and information loss. Further, this work proposes a dynamic firewall rule engine design strategy for detection of the attacks using the thresholding method. The proposed algorithms are testing on the benchmarked KDD dataset and as outcome a nearly 99.7% accuracy is observed and the time complexity is reduced to nearly 40%. Hence, this proposed work demonstrates a state-of-the-art technology for firewall design for hybrid cloud and shall be considered as a new benchmark in this domain of the research.
