Towards a Security SLA-based Cloud Monitoring Service
Dana Petcu, Ciprian Crăciun · 2014
Following the community concerns related to security and trust in cloud services, services level agreements (SLAs) are nowadays revised to include security requirements. In order to speedup their take-up by the service providers and consumers, security SLAs monitoring at run-time should be ensured. Several tools for SLA management are available, but most of them are dealing with performance parameters, and only few of them are including monitoring features. Other tools are available for cloud security monitoring, but not currently related or mapped to security SLAs. Aiming to design and develop a security SLA-based cloud monitoring service, which can be deployed or hosted, we identify in this paper the concepts, mechanism and available tools which can lead to a proper design of such a service, as well as the main barriers to overcome.
