Cloud computing is becoming an integral part of many businesses today. It offers wide range of benefits and competitive advantage over companies that do not shift to the cloud. This growing popularity makes cloud computing subject to several security issues. In this paper, we propose an approach to protect the cloud by providing a hybrid solution based on the distribution of intrusion detectors and the centralization of alerts for management purposes. The purpose of our approach is to protect

This leads us to use specific intrusion detectors for each layer. The detection model relies on two techniques: signature-based detection and anomaly-based detection. The first technique targets previously known attacks, the second technique targets unknown malicious events. In this article, we describe the architecture of our approach and present some experimental results to evaluate its effectiveness.
