In Cloud Computing security, the existing mechanisms: Anti-virus programs, Authentications, Firewalls are not able to withstand the dynamic nature of threats. So, User Profiling System, which registers user's activities to analyze user's behavior, augments the security system to work in proactive and reactive manner and provides an enhanced security.
Pricing of the services, is one of the main factor in deciding the will of any organization, for the growth, In the existing Security Mechanisms of the Cloud, the way of providing Security to Cloud user is purely Provider-driven and user has no role in deciding, which security capabilities, he actually wants, based on the significance of his Cloud Instance. As a result of which, a cost inefficient Security Pricing persists in Cloud Computing. This paper focuses on exploring the pricing of existing Security mechanism and proposes a new user-driven approach, which will prove to be a cost-efficient in regard of former approach and will play a role of catalyst in large scale adoption of the Cloud Computing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
