Towards Malware Inspired Cloud Self-Protection

With Cloud adoption becoming more widespread, the need to ensure the security of its environments becomes greater. It has previously been shown how such environments may enable a form of Cloud-aware malware which the current state-of-the art in defence does not take into account and would struggle to defend against. Therefore the contribution of this paper is in the proposal of using a similar architecture, based on complex malware to defend and protect a network due to its ability to exist in high levels of privilege and survive removal.
