The efficient storing, processing and management of voluminous data has become possible with the advent of big data processing techniques and cloud computing. However, as data moves away from a secured environment, into the virtual cloud space, its vulnerability proportionately increases. Safeguarding data when shifting, processing or storing in the cloud has proven to be extremely challenging and there is very little clarity in this regard. This paper aims to improve security of data in a cloud environment through the introduction of efficient agent based security prototype. Portable, mobile, communicating and migrating agents are hosted between user and system, between systems and between platforms. This paper focuses on the performance evaluation of co-operating Multi-Agent Systems on SPADE and JADE platforms.
