Various cloud computing service models, such as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), are gaining popularity because of their elasticity, on-demand, and pay-per-use characteristics (SaaS). The proliferation of IoT-enabled devices in our offices, homes, and hospitals means we now produce vast data, and in contrast, these cannot be stored on an IoT device. As a result, they have come to rely on cloud computing and cloud storage for all of their data processing and archiving needs. However, cyberattacks are wreaking havoc on this computing model. Providers of cloud computing services can employ machine learning to monitor for and stop ... Read More
