Abstract :
This demo presents a Security Service Level Agreement (SSLA) management solution for the cloud. In this work we aim to bind security in the Service Level Agreement (SLA) as a measurable and agreeable parameter between cloud service provider (CSP) and the customer. To achieve this, we allow cloud customer to choose between different security levels when negotiating the SLA and then our automated SLA engine finds the requirements from the SSLA and deploys the Virtual Machine (VM) based on that. Finally, we also provide monitoring of the security services from where the customer can review the current security status of the VMs. If there are any violations from the agreed SSLA, then the customer can immediately notice that and file a SLA breach complaint to the CSP.
