Abstract
As the number of network devices is increasing and they are highly connected, network attacks have become more complex and varied. To mitigate these attacks, multiple types of network security equipment are used in combination, requiring considerable security knowledge of each type of network security equipment. Also, the deployment of network security equipment requires considerable cost and time. To solve these problems, this article proposes an IBCS based on automation and virtualization. IBCS provides not only an automated, virtualized security system for security service providers, but also easy, quick, and flexible cloud-based security services for security service consumers based on their intents. Finally, this article demonstrates the feasibility of IBCS with a prototype in a real network environments.
