A Novel Intelligent-Based Intrusion Detection System Approach Using Deep Multilayer Classification

Abstract

Cybersecurity in information technology (IT) infrastructures is one of the most significant and complex issues of the digital era. Increases in network size and associated data have directly affected technological breakthroughs in the Internet and communication areas. Malware attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and hazardous as technology advances, making it difficult to detect an incursion. Detecting and mitigating these threats is a significant issue for standard analytic methods. Furthermore, the attackers use complex processes to remain undetected for an extended period. The changing nature and many cyberattacks require a quick, adaptable, and scalable defense system. For the most part, traditional machine learning-based intrusion detection relies on only one algorithm to identify intrusions, which has a low detection rate and cannot handle large amounts of data. To enhance the performance of intrusion detection systems, a new deep multilayer classification approach is developed. This approach comprises five modules: preprocessing, autoencoding, database, classification, and feedback. The classification module uses an autoencoder to decrease the number of dimensions in a reconstruction feature. Our method was tested against a benchmark dataset, NSL-KDD. Compared to other state-of-the-art intrusion detection systems, our methodology has a 96.7% accuracy.

Intrusion detection system to advance IoT security environment

“…5G Network Using Deep Learning is used [9], it achieves a good result in distinguishing between outside and inside attacks, but it limits and rely on the speed of the interne, if its slow, then no such efficiency in the performance. Autoencoder deep learning is used by [10], it detects anomaly attacks, but it has a limitation in the efficacy and low performance. AIS (Artificial Immune System) method is used [11], it detects the new signature, it has a limitation in using powerful hardware.…”
