Abstract
In Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven intrusion detection focuses on identifying anomalies, unauthorized access, and malicious activities across dynamic cloud environments. Besides, the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is also crucial in strengthening the overall cybersecurity defenses, thereby assisting institutions or organizations in detecting malicious activities to improve their security and preserve sensitive data. Conventional security approaches often fail to handle constantly evolving attack patterns in the cloud. Prevailing signature-based schemes do not have the ability to identify unknown threats, thereby generating false alarms. Besides, they require large labelled databases for adapting to changing workloads. This survey examines several intrusion detection approaches in the Cloud Computing Environment. The methods are categorized as Machine Learning (ML), Federated Learning (FL), Deep Learning (DL), and Big Databased models. Further, to provide a comprehensive assessment, 25 research papers on intrusion detection are collected and reviewed. Further, a general outline for detecting intrusions is explained, and then the literature review of each technique with its pros and cons is elaborated. The research gaps that are encountered by the existing techniques are also presented. In addition, this survey also highlights the analysis on the basis of various factors, like publication year, methodology, tools, indicators, and databases utilized.
With the widespread adoption of cloud computing, securing enterprise networks against cyber threats has become increasingly important. Cloud environments are highly dynamic and constantly changing, making them susceptible to sophisticated cyberattacks that traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) often fail to detect. This study focuses on Intelligent Intrusion Detection Systems (IIDS) and their critical role in strengthening cloud security. Unlike conventional signature-based IDS that rely on fixed attack patterns, IIDS employ advanced Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques including deep learning, decision trees, and ensemble models to identify both known and emerging threats with greater accuracy. The paper proposes an integrated framework that combines real-time anomaly detection with automated response capabilities for cloud networks. Key architectural elements of IIDS are examined, alongside major deployment challenges such as scalability, false-positive rates, and computational requirements. Additionally, practical case studies and performance evaluations illustrate how IIDS enhance threat detection by improving accuracy, adaptability, and efficiency. Finally, the paper outlines future research directions to further advance IIDS capabilities and address the evolving security needs of modern cloud infrastructures.

Highly accurate systems for detecting threats in real time are needed urgently owing to the exponential growth in cloud-network systems and increasingly sophisticated attacks. The conventional security systems using rules and signatures are inadequate in the changing environment of cloud computing because of evolving attacks.The suggested framework represents an intelligent solution for detecting and classifying threats in cloud computing by using smart machine learning algorithms. An intelligent system will collect data related to cloud network traffic and extract the features, and then it will use the supervisory learning algorithm to classify the threats. The experimental assessment has been performed based on a cloud intrusion detection dataset that consists of various types of attacks including network intrusion, malware, phishing, and data exfiltration. The implemented model had a total classification accuracy of 99.98% that proved to be very reliable with regard to detection of threats in which there are few false positives as well as false negatives. The findings confirm the assertion that the proposed framework offers real-time, scalable and effective security protection that is applicable in contemporary cloud-networks.

Cloud computing has become a key technology for modern data storage and processing due to its scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency. However, its dynamic nature introduces security challenges such as unauthorized access, network intrusions, resource misuse, and abnormal system behavior. Traditional rule-based systems often fail to detect unknown or evolving threats in real time, reducing system reliability.This research proposes an AI-powered scalable anomaly detection framework for secure data processing in cloud architectures. It uses machine learning techniques such as Isolation Forest, Random Forest, and deep learning models to detect abnormal patterns in cloud data. The framework includes data collection, preprocessing, anomaly detection, and automated alert generation for continuous monitoring.
The system supports real-time processing and scalability while reducing false positives. It improves cloud security through early threat detection and predictive analysis. Experimental results show improved accuracy, faster response, and better reliability compared to traditional methods. Future work includes federated learning, explainable AI, and edge-cloud integration for enhanced performance and privacy.
