Abstract

A service action category based cloud security system and method implement cloud security by categorizing service actions of cloud service providers into a set of service action categories. The service action categorization is performed agnostic to the applications or functions provided by the cloud service providers and also agnostic to the cloud service providers. With the service actions of cloud service providers thus categorized, cloud security monitoring and threat detection can be performed based on service action categories. Thus, cloud security can be implemented without requiring knowledge of the applications supported by the cloud service providers and without knowing all of the individual service actions supported by the cloud service providers.
