Abstract
Despite the increasing popularity of cloud services, ensuring the security and availability of data, resources and services remains an ongoing research challenge. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are not a new threat, but remain a major security challenge and are a topic of ongoing research interest. Mitigating DDoS attack in cloud presents a new dimension to solutions proffered in traditional computing due to its architecture and features. This paper reviews 96 publications on DDoS attack and defense approaches in cloud computing published between January 2009 and December 2015, and discusses existing research trends. A taxonomy and a conceptual cloud DDoS mitigation framework based on change point detection are presented. Future research directions are also outlined.
