Privilege Escalation Attack Detection and Mitigation in Cloud Using Machine Learning

Cloud computing is a new way of thinking about how to facilitate and provide services through the Internet.The current infrastructure.Cloud storage providers adopt fundamental security measures for their systems and the data they handle, including encryption, access control, and authentication.Depending on the accessibility, speed, and frequency of data access, the cloud has an almost infinite capacity for storing any type of data in different cloud data storage structures.Sensitive data breaches might occur due to the volume of data that moves between businesses and cloud service providers, both inadvertent and malicious.The characteristics that make online services easy to use for workers and IT systems also make it harder for businesses to prevent unwanted access [2].Authentication and open Interfaces are new security vulnerabilities that Cloud services subject enterprises face.Hackers with advanced skills utilize their knowledge to access Cloud systems Machine learning employs a variety of approaches and algorithms to address the security challenge and better manage data.Many datasets are private and cannot be released owing to privacy concerns, or they may be missing crucial statistical properties [3], [4]. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTSSoftware requirements deal with defining software resource requirements and prerequisites that need to be installed on a computer to provide optimal functioning of an application.These requirements or prerequisites are generally not included in the software installation package and need to be installed separately before the software is installed.Platform -In computing, a platform describes some sort of framework, either in hardware or software, which allows software to run.Typical platforms include a computer's architecture, operating system, or programming languages and their runtime libraries.Operating system is one of the first requirements mentioned when defining system requirements (software).Software may not be compatible with different versions of same line of operating systems, although some measure of backward compatibility is often maintained.For example, most software designed for Microsoft Windows XP does not run on Microsoft Windows 98, although the converse is not always true.Similarly, software designed using newer features of Linux Kernel v2.6 generally does not run or compile properly (or at all) on Linux distributions using Kernel v2.2 or v2.4.APIs and drivers -Software making extensive use of special hardware devices, like high-end display adapters, needs special API or newer device drivers.A good example is DirectX, which is a collection of APIs for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming, on Microsoft platforms.Web browser -Most web applications and software depending heavily on Internet technologies make use of the default browser installed on system.Microsoft Internet Explorer is a frequent choice of software running on Microsoft Windows, which makes use of ActiveX controls, despite their vulnerabilities.
