A Hybrid Classification Framework for Network Intrusion Detection with High Accuracy and Low Latency
Network intrusion detection (NIDS) is a crucial task aimed at safeguarding computer networks against malicious attacks. Traditional NIDS methods can be categorized as either misuse-based or anomaly-based, each having its unique set of limitations. Misuse-based approaches excel in identifying known attacks but fall short when dealing with new or unidentified attack patterns. On the other hand, anomaly-based methods are more adept at identifying novel attacks but tend to produce a substantial number of false positives. To enhance the overall performance of NIDS systems, hybrid classification techniques are employed, leveraging the strengths of both misuse-based and anomaly-based methods. In this research, we present a novel hybrid classification approach for NIDS that excels in both speed and accuracy. Our approach integrates a blend of machine learning algorithms, including decision trees, support vector machines, and deep neural networks. We conducted comprehensive evaluations of our approach using various network intrusion datasets, achieving state-of-the-art results in terms of accuracy and prediction speed
AI Solutions for MDS: Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Misuse Detection and Localisation in Telecommunication Environments
This report considers the application of Articial Intelligence (AI) techniques to
the problem of misuse detection and misuse localisation within telecommunications
environments. A broad survey of techniques is provided, that covers inter alia
rule based systems, model-based systems, case based reasoning, pattern matching,
clustering and feature extraction, articial neural networks, genetic algorithms, arti
cial immune systems, agent based systems, data mining and a variety of hybrid
approaches. The report then considers the central issue of event correlation, that
is at the heart of many misuse detection and localisation systems. The notion of
being able to infer misuse by the correlation of individual temporally distributed
events within a multiple data stream environment is explored, and a range of techniques,
covering model based approaches, `programmed' AI and machine learning
paradigms. It is found that, in general, correlation is best achieved via rule based approaches,
but that these suffer from a number of drawbacks, such as the difculty of
developing and maintaining an appropriate knowledge base, and the lack of ability
to generalise from known misuses to new unseen misuses. Two distinct approaches
are evident. One attempts to encode knowledge of known misuses, typically within
rules, and use this to screen events. This approach cannot generally detect misuses
for which it has not been programmed, i.e. it is prone to issuing false negatives.
The other attempts to `learn' the features of event patterns that constitute normal
behaviour, and, by observing patterns that do not match expected behaviour, detect
when a misuse has occurred. This approach is prone to issuing false positives,
i.e. inferring misuse from innocent patterns of behaviour that the system was not
trained to recognise. Contemporary approaches are seen to favour hybridisation,
often combining detection or localisation mechanisms for both abnormal and normal
behaviour, the former to capture known cases of misuse, the latter to capture
unknown cases. In some systems, these mechanisms even work together to update
each other to increase detection rates and lower false positive rates. It is concluded
that hybridisation offers the most promising future direction, but that a rule or state
based component is likely to remain, being the most natural approach to the correlation
of complex events. The challenge, then, is to mitigate the weaknesses of
canonical programmed systems such that learning, generalisation and adaptation
are more readily facilitated
Artificial intelligence in the cyber domain: Offense and defense
Artificial intelligence techniques have grown rapidly in recent years, and their applications in practice can be seen in many fields, ranging from facial recognition to image analysis. In the cybersecurity domain, AI-based techniques can provide better cyber defense tools and help adversaries improve methods of attack. However, malicious actors are aware of the new prospects too and will probably attempt to use them for nefarious purposes. This survey paper aims at providing an overview of how artificial intelligence can be used in the context of cybersecurity in both offense and defense.Web of Science123art. no. 41
A survey of intrusion detection system technologies
This paper provides an overview of IDS types and how they work as well as configuration considerations and issues that affect them. Advanced methods of increasing the performance of an IDS are explored such as specification based IDS for protecting Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Cloud networks. Also by providing a review of varied studies ranging from issues in configuration and specific problems to custom techniques and cutting edge studies a reference can be provided to others interested in learning about and developing IDS solutions. Intrusion Detection is an area of much required study to provide solutions to satisfy evolving services and networks and systems that support them. This paper aims to be a reference for IDS technologies other researchers and developers interested in the field of intrusion detection
Sensor networks security based on sensitive robots agents. A conceptual model
Multi-agent systems are currently applied to solve complex problems. The
security of networks is an eloquent example of a complex and difficult problem.
A new model-concept Hybrid Sensitive Robot Metaheuristic for Intrusion
Detection is introduced in the current paper. The proposed technique could be
used with machine learning based intrusion detection techniques. The new model
uses the reaction of virtual sensitive robots to different stigmergic variables
in order to keep the tracks of the intruders when securing a sensor network.Comment: 5 page
