This paper describes a novel approach for security evaluation and analysis in cloud computing environments. The objective is to provide an automated way to evaluate the efficiency of security mechanisms aiming at protecting the cloud computing infrastructures and applications. In particular, we focus on access controls and intrusion detection/prevention systems. We leverage cloud benefits to optimize the audit and assessment processes. The proposed approach is currently under implementation on our cloud platform.
