A Review on Detection and Mitigation Analysis of Distributed Denial of Service Attacks and Their Effects on the Cloud

Abstract

To save money on maintenance and administrative costs, cloud computing aims to move high-end computer equipment to the internet and put it online. Both victims and attackers may reap the advantages of cloud computing. On the other side, attacks on cloud components might lead to massive losses for cloud service providers and users. Numerous cyber-attacks have been launched as a consequence of this readily available resource. One of the most significant hazards to communication networks and applications has long been DoS and DDoS attacks. Operations, availability, and security for companies are becoming a nightmare because of these attacks. Since cloud computing resources are scalable, these resources may be dynamically scaled to recognise the attack components and immediately withstand the attack. For this cyber-attack against cloud computing, fast exploitation of the attack data is necessary. This article addresses the majority of the previously published strategies for DDoS attack avoidance, early identification, and remediation.
