Cloud computing has gained paramount attention and most of the companies are adopting this new paradigm and gaining significant benefits. As number of applications and business operations are being facilitated by the cloud computing paradigm, it has become the potential target to attackers. The importance of well-organized architecture and security roles have become greater with the growing popularity. Cloud Security: Attacks, Techniques, Tools, and Challenges, provides an in-depth technical description about various key essential aspects of cloud security. We have endeavored to provide a technical foundation that will be practically useful not just for students and independent researchers but also for professional cloud security analysts for conducting security procedures, and all those who are curious in the field of cloud security The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including: <ul> <li>Basic fundamentals of Cloud Computing</li> <li>Cloud security concepts, vulnerabilities, security standards and reference models </li> <li>Cloud security goals, key issues and privacy requirements</li> <li>Threat model, detailed taxonomy of cloud attacks, Attack feature analysis - case study </li> <li>A detailed taxonomy of IDS techniques and Cloud Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) </li> <li>Attack and security tools, LibVMI - case study</li> <li>Advanced approaches: Virtual Machine Introspection (VMI) and Hypervisor Introspection (HVI) </li> <li>Container security: threat model, attacks and defense systems</li></ul> This book is intended for both academic and professional audience. It could also be used as a textbook, for a semester course at undergraduate and post graduate level in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Security, and Information Science & Management. The book serves as basic reference volume for researchers in cloud security. It will be useful to practitioners, cloud security team, and the cloud security auditor as well. To get the most out of this book, the reader should have a working knowledge of various operating system environments, hypervisors, cloud computing fundamentals, programming languages like Python and a working knowledge of security tools. &#12288; &#12288; &#12288;

"This book is written with an intension to provide a thorough and detailed discussion on various fundamental aspects of cloud security. It provides an insight in to cloud computing including definition, history, characteristics, service models, cloud deployment models, key technologies, service platforms and challenges It discusses the concepts of cloud security, threat model, attack taxonomy and security techniques"--

This timely text/reference presents a detailed introduction to the essential aspects of computer network forensics. The book considers not only how to uncover information hidden in email messages, web pages and web servers, but also what this reveals about the functioning of the Internet and its core protocols. This, in turn, enables the identification of shortcomings and highlights where improvements can be made for a more secure network. Topics and features: provides learning objectives in every chapter, and review questions throughout the book to test understanding; introduces the basic concepts of network process models, network forensics frameworks and network forensics tools; discusses various techniques for the acquisition of packets in a network forensics system, network forensics analysis, and attribution in network forensics; examines a range of advanced topics, including botnet, smartphone, and cloud forensics; reviews a number of freely available tools for performing forensic activities.
