Abstract: Security plays the most crucial role in cloud computing. Since the past years, there is a lot of research is going on security. On the other side of the coin, attackers are exploring, developing themselves drastically and exploiting the vulnerabilities in the cloud. Virtualization technology can be defined as backbone of the Cloud computing. Exploiters are taking the advantage of vulnerabilities in Virtual Machines. Thereby launching DDOS attacks, they can able to compromise virtual machines. Services like Saas, IaaS which helps for support end users may get affected and attackers may launch attacks either directly or by using zombies. Generally, Every Data Centre has their own security policies to deal with the security issues. However, in data centers, all the security policies are commonly been applied to the applications irrespective of their category or security threats that it face. The existing approach may take lots of time and wastage of resources. In this paper, we have developed an approach to segregate the applications as per the type of threats (by adapting detection mechanisms) being faced. Based on the zone in which applications are falling, only the relevant security policies will only be applied. This approach is optimized where we can effectively reduce the latency associated with applying security policies
