The significant development of Internet applications over the past 10 years has resulted in the rising necessity for the information network to be secured. An intrusion detection system is a fundamental network infrastructure defense that must be able to adapt to the ever-evolving threat landscape and identify new attacks that have low false alarm. Researchers have developed several supervised as well as unsupervised methods from the data mining and machine learning disciplines so that anomalies can be detected reliably. As an aspect of machine learning, deep learning uses a neuron-like structure to learn tasks. A successful deep learning technique method is convolution neural network (CNN); however, it is presently not suitable to detect anomalies. It is easier to identify expected contents within the input flow in CNNs, whereas there are minor differences in the abnormalities compared to the normal content. This suggests that a particular method is required for identifying such minor changes. It is expected that CNNs would learn the features that form the characteristic of the content of an image (flow) rather than variations that are unrelated to the content. Hence, this study recommends a new CNN architecture type known as mean convolution layer (CNN-MCL) that was developed for learning the anomalies’ content features and then identifying the particular abnormality. The recommended CNN-MCL helps in designing a strong network intrusion detection system that includes an innovative form of convolutional layer that can teach low-level abnormal characteristics. It was observed that assessing the proposed model on the CICIDS2017 dataset led to favorable results in terms of real-world application regarding detecting anomalies that are highly accurate and have low false-alarm rate as opposed to other best models.

Over the past few years, Internet applications have become more advanced and widely used. This has increased the need for Internet networks to be secured. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs), which employ artificial intelligence (AI) methods, are vital to ensuring network security. As a branch of AI, deep learning (DL) algorithms are now effectively applied in IDSs. Among deep learning neural networks, the convolutional neural network (CNN) is a well-known structure designed to process complex data. The CNN overcomes the typical limitations of conventional machine learning approaches and is mainly used in IDSs. Several CNN-based approaches are employed in IDSs to handle privacy issues and security threats. However, there are no comprehensive surveys of IDS schemes that have utilized CNN to the best of our knowledge. Hence, in this study, our primary focus is on CNN-based IDSs so as to increase our understanding of various uses of the CNN in detecting network intrusions, anomalies, and other types of attacks. This paper innovatively organizes the studied CNN-IDS approaches into multiple categories and describes their primary capabilities and contributions. The main features of these approaches, such as the dataset, architecture, input shape, evaluated metrics, performance, feature extraction, and classifier method, are compared. Because different datasets are used in CNN-IDS research, their experimental results are not comparable. Hence, this study also conducted an empirical experiment to compare different approaches based on standard datasets, and the comparative results are presented in detail.

In the recent work environment, any firm or organization can't guarantee the achievement of its strategic goals, that is, its success without utilizing IT well, so the IT became the object of main attention, and the reliance on the IT gets more intensified in all business fields. Therefore, each firm and public institute take enormous efforts for setting their internal audit systems appropriate for the recent business environment. Especially as the Public Audit Act began to take in effect from 2010, its raised the necessity to develop a new internal audit administration meeting a more advanced internal audit body's role and its status as well as the changes in the administration different from the past administration. Reflecting the past, the existing internal audit activities have done around the post-exposure approaching to the known risks or a kind of fragmentary checkup around samples. Besides, the existing internal audits have focused on pointing out the organization's problems and controlling them. So the organization being audited did not fully accept the internal audit results and there were also some aspects not meeting the internal customer's needs. Therefore this study aimed to propose an improved model of audit information system supporting the recent audit trends (enhancing the efficiency of work process and consulting) in order to draw out a more strategic improvement plan after analyzing the status quo of public firms' internal audits and their problems through the review of existing studies and literature about the theme.
