Nowadays, Due to the rapid growth of distributed systems, IT organizations are inclining towards the cloud computing environment. The intercommunication between distributed systems widens the possibility of confrontation against cyber attackers or intruders. The technology for accumulating and preserving the user's information at an affordable cost and refined services is known as cloud computing. The emergence of cloud computing and its deployment all over the world necessitates security through intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS). Intrusion Detection and Prevention System plays an efficient role in differentiating the usual and unusual behavior by the verification, supervision, control of the log files and configuration, user activities, network traffic, etc. The present communication highlights the existing approaches of known (Signature based), unknown (Anomaly based) attack detection, and hybrid approaches that are mandated to overcome the security challenges in an ongoing time. Moreover, the disclosure in terms of comparative analysis of utilized techniques is also presented. The novelty of this work incorporates the comparison of diverse approaches utilized for the identification and prevention of attacks in the cloud environment. It also covers existing datasets along with research gaps in the existing approaches.
