Malicious activities that seek to disrupt cloud communication are cybersecurity threats. Nevertheless, none of the existing works focused on detecting the attacks that happened in the Blade Server (BS) in the cloud. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient Intrusion Detection System (IDS) framework for BS in the cloud by utilizing Kerberos-based Exponential Mestre-Brainstrass Curve Cryptography (KEMBCC) and Sechsoftwave and Sparsele-centric Gated Recurrent Unit (SSGRU). Primarily, the cloud users are registered into the network. Then, the incoming data are encrypted. Here, to balance the incoming loads, BS is used. To detect attacks in BS, IDS is implemented. Initially, the data are preprocessed. Further, the big data are handled in the IDS. Afterward, the features are extracted and optimal features are chosen from it. Thereafter, to classify the attack and normal BS, the SSGRU classifier is used. After that, by generating a Sankey diagram, the attacked and non-attacked blades in the BS are differentiated. Next, the attacked blades are isolated, whereas the non-attacked blades are further used for load balancing on the cloud. According to the analysis results, this model performed superior to the other models by attaining an accuracy of 99.43%.
