Abstract

Web based applications are very common nowadays where almost every software can be accessible through a web browser in one form or the other. This paper proposes techniques to detect diffierent threats related to web applications by using a hypervisorbased security architecture. The proposed architecture leverages the hypervisor's visibility of the virtual machines' runtime state and traffic ows for securing the web application. The unique feature of the proposed architecture is that it is capable of doing fine granular detection of web application attacks, i.e. to the specific web page level, and protecting the application against zero-day attacks.
