ABSTRACT

With the development of computer technology, the concept of virtualization has grown rapidly. However, threats like crypto mining malware inside virtual machines increased recently. Virtual Machine Threat Detection (VMTD) is used to detect threats like crypto mining malware inside virtual machine. This paper discuss about the different cloud technology models that is used to detect the crypto mining malware threats inside virtual machine. In the  existing models, software agents are  deployed in guest virtual machine to detect  threats. To overcome the existing model,  VMTD collect signals to aid in threat  detection without requiring customers to run  additional software. VMTD, which is made  available through the Security Command  Centre, that helps in finding the error or  defect & susceptibility if any and makes sure  to fix those by giving recommendations or  suggestions.
