Abstract

Cloud Computing opens the door for the advancement of innovative technologies with ease of development by providing already built-up innovative ideas. However due to completely based on internet it snitches attentions of attackers. The business of any organization can be affected if attackers find security related loopholes in the application and cause serious harm. These attacks can be due to outsider or insider of the organization. Antivirus can be a solution to deal with such issues. Antivirus software can find vulnerabilities, detect malicious files, report them to the administrator and ask them to delete. These antiviruses keep updated for any new signature. In this research some freely available antiviruses are selected that can be used as a defensive mechanism to protect the operating environment in cloud. The study is conducted for Ubuntu EC2 instance and Window’s EC2 instance. After installing the select antivirus the environment is fed with malicious data and then scanning by each antivirus has been done. This detailed research not only focuses on the scanning result provided by the antivirus but also finds the performance of the software during scanning. These overall results can be helpful for the cloud users to select one of the solutions based on their business requirements. CloudWatch service of AWS is used to monitor the performance. In the end, a conclusion is made in which all the findings are discussed and how performance-related problems can be solved is addressed.
