A variety of attacks are regularly attempted at network infrastructure. With the increasing development of artificial intelligence algorithms, it has become effective to prevent network intrusion for more than two decades. Deep learning methods can achieve high accuracy with a low false alarm rate to detect network intrusions. A novel approach using a hybrid algorithm of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) is introduced in this paper to provide improved intrusion detection. This bidirectional algorithm showed the highest known accuracy of 99.70% on a standard dataset known as NSL KDD. The performance of this algorithm is measured using precision, false positive, F1 score, and recall which found promising for deployment on live network infrastructure.

Artificial Intelligence plays a significant role in building effective cybersecurity tools. Security has a crucial role in the modern digital world and has become an essential area of research. Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are among the first security systems that encounter network attacks and facilitate attack detection to protect a network. Contemporary machine learning approaches, like novel neural network architectures, are succeeding in network intrusion detection. This paper tests modern machine learning approaches on a novel cybersecurity benchmark IoT dataset. Among other algorithms, Deep AutoEncoder (DAE) and modified Long Short Term Memory (mLSTM) are employed to detect network anomalies in the IoT-23 dataset. The DAE is employed for dimensionality reduction and a host of ML methods, including Deep Neural Networks and Long Short-Term Memory to classify the outputs of into normal/malicious. The applied method is validated on the IoT-23 dataset. Furthermore, the results of the analysis in terms of evaluation matrices are discussed.

Aimed at the existing problems in network intrusion detection, this paper proposes an improved LSTM combined with spatiotemporal structure for intrusion detection. The unsupervised spatiotemporal encoder is used to intelligently extract the spatial characteristics of network traffic data samples. It can not only retain the overall/nonlocal characteristics of the data samples but also extract the most essential deep features of the data samples. Finally, the extracted features are used as input of the LSTM model to realize classification and identification for intrusion samples. Experimental verification shows that the accuracy and false alarm rate of the intrusion detection model based on the neural network are significantly better than those of other traditional models.
