Enhancing Cloud Security: A Hypervisor-Level Framework for Malware Prevention and Detection

The introduction outlines the significance of data storage and management in businesses andhighlights the cost-effectiveness of data outsourcing, particularly in the context of cloud computing. Itemphasizes the benefits and challenges of cloud computing, with a focus on security concerns related tomalware threats. The proposed malware prevention and detection (MP&D) framework aims to address thesechallenges by providing a comprehensive set of processes and tools to secure virtual machines in cloudcomputing environments. The framework's objectives include large-scale system management, identifyingvarious attacks, early detection, rapid and accurate detection, scalability, and resistance to compromise.
