Data security and integrity are achieved by information security systems, which ensure the continuity of business and protect organizations against potential risks. Information security systems are used to estimate the risks and search the place of the occurrence of the risks. It should also be able to measure the risk consequences associated with cloud organizations. The cloud organizations must analyse the information system processes and they should develop their own information systems based on the analysis. This paper proposes a comprehensive Agent-Based Information Security framework for Cloud Computing. We have considered risk assessment methods for calculating consequences by focussing on potential threats, assets, vulnerabilities, and their associated measures. A decision system for the organizations is created by taking the help of intelligent (smart) and software agents that are used to fetch and group the relevant information used in a framework that decides against threats based on information provided by the security agents. We have used a fuzzy inference system based upon fuzzy set theory for creating a decision system. Keywords⸻ Information security, Risk Management, Agent- based Computing, Multi-agent systems, Cloud Computing, Grid computing, Fuzzy logic, Fuzzy set theory. 1. INTRODUCTION Cloud computing is an internet-based on-demand service that uses a shared computer resource environment. The resources are provided as services to the users. The cloud computing environment can and in case of increased load, the system can increase the capacity by adding more hardware. Cloud computing is an internet-based on-demand service that uses a shared computer resource environment. he resources are provided as services to Security concerns have been the primary obstacle for organizations considering cloud services, particularly public cloud services. The security and privacy issues are always misused by the agents of threat. Hence vulnerability is a major risk factor. The interaction between various complex entities like Cloud Service Providers / Venders, Cloud Consumers and the brokers governs the streamlined services of cloud computing[2]. In the recent past, a new novel method of handling security threats has arisen which is known as Agent-based security measures. These measures are used to provide the highest level of security to the cloud computing processes. The proposed agent-based schema will surely increase the security of the Cloud without affecting the system's overall performance. For example, the Authors adopt multi-agent-based techniques and a privacy assurance framework that uses comprehensive cryptographic techniques against security threats like Denial of Service (DOS) [3]. The multi- agent-based framework secures reliable communication between open Clouds networks. The test results show that performance-enhanced after the implementation of the agent. A multi-tier agent-based framework can increase the abilities of agents to minimize the complexity of the system [4]. The agent-based approach also used to provide security to Cloud networks, infrastructure, and storage [5]. After checking reviews, it is revealed that agent- based techniques do not use risk management techniques to offer defense against malicious attacks and threats. Therefore, the authors merged software agent techniques with risk management techniques to propose information security schema for Cloud Computing. 2. CLOUD COMPUTING The term Cloud is a web-based system. Cloud is something, which is present at remote location, and provides the services over some public and private networks. Since the information can be found and accessed remotely in the virtual space, the name given to is Cloud computing. It offers various services like hardware, software, firmware and interfaces like OS and applications online. The data stored can be accessed through Internet. This system of data processing and access provides mobility due to which the work can be performed remotely and the processes can be executed on any devices, anywhere in the world. The Cloud Computing is making our business
