The security for cloud network systems is essential and significant to secure the data source from intruders and attacks. Implementing an intrusion detection system (IDS) for securing from those intruders and attacks is the best option. Many IDS models are presently based on different techniques and algorithms like machine learning and deep learning. In this research, IDS for the cloud computing environment is proposed. Here in this model, the genetic algorithm (GA) and back propagation neural network (BPNN) is used for attack detection and classification. The Canadian Institute for Cyber-security CIC-IDS 2017 dataset is used for the evaluation of performance analysis. Initially, from the dataset, the data are preprocessed, and by using the genetic algorithm, the attack was detected. The detected attacks are classified using the BPNN classifier for identifying the types of attacks. The performance analysis was executed, and the results are obtained and compared with the existing machine learning-based classifiers like FC-ANN, NB-RF, KDBN, and FCM-SVM techniques. The proposed GA-BPNN model outperforms all these classifying techniques in every performance metric, like accuracy, precision, recall, and detection rate. Overall, from the performance analysis, the best classification accuracy is achieved for Web attack detection with 97.90%, and the best detection rate is achieved for Brute force attack detection with 97.89%.

Cyber security has recently received enormous attention in today’s security concerns, due to the popularity of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), the tremendous growth of computer networks, and the huge number of relevant applications. Thus, detecting various cyber-attacks or anomalies in a network and building an effective intrusion detection system that performs an essential role in today’s security is becoming more important. Artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning techniques, can be used for building such a data-driven intelligent intrusion detection system. In order to achieve this goal, in this paper, we present an Intrusion Detection Tree (“IntruDTree”) machine-learning-based security model that first takes into account the ranking of security features according to their importance and then build a tree-based generalized intrusion detection model based on the selected important features. This model is not only effective in terms of prediction accuracy for unseen test cases but also minimizes the computational complexity of the model by reducing the feature dimensions. Finally, the effectiveness of our IntruDTree model was examined by conducting experiments on cybersecurity datasets and computing the precision, recall, fscore, accuracy, and ROC values to evaluate. We also compare the outcome results of IntruDTree model with several traditional popular machine learning methods such as the naive Bayes classifier, logistic regression, support vector machines, and k-nearest neighbor, to analyze the effectiveness of the resulting security model.

In the era of Internet and with increasing number of people as its end users, a large number of attack categories are introduced daily. Hence, effective detection of various attacks with the help of Intrusion Detection Systems is an emerging trend in research these days. Existing studies show effectiveness of machine learning approaches in handling Intrusion Detection Systems. In this work, we aim to enhance detection rate of Intrusion Detection System by using machine learning technique. We propose a novel classifier ensemble based IDS that is constructed using hybrid approach which combines data level and feature level approach. Classifier ensembles combine the opinions of different experts and improve the intrusion detection rate. Experimental results show the improved detection rates of our system compared to reference technique.

Intrusion detection system (IDS) is one of the essential security mechanisms against attacks in WSN. Network intrusion detection system (NIDS) generally uses the classification techniques in order to obtain the best possible accuracy and attack detection rate. In this paper, Intrusion Detection System is designed which uses two-stage hybrid classification method. In the first stage it uses Support Vector Machine (SVM) as anomaly detection, and in the second stage it uses Random Forest (RF)/Decision Tree (DT) as misuse. The abnormal activities are detected in the first stage. These abnormal activities are further analyzed and the known attacks are identified in the second stage and are classified as Denial of Service (DoS) attack, Probe attack, Remote to Local (R2L) attack and User to Root (U2R) attack. Simulation results reveal that the proposed hybrid algorithm obtains better accuracy and detection rate than the single classifier namely, SVM, RF and DT algorithm. The experimental results also shows that hybrid algorithm can detect anomaly activity in a reliable way. Proposed technique uses the standard NSL KDD dataset to evaluate/calculate the performance of the proposed approach. Here the results show that the proposed Hybrid SVM-RF/DT IDS technique performs better in terms of detection rate, accuracy and recall than the existing SVM, RF and DT approaches.

Network security is an important aspect in maintaining computer network systems and personal information from being illegally accessed by third parties. The major problem that frequently occurs in computer network systems is the failure in detecting possible network-attacks. Apart from that, the process of recognizing the type of attack that occurs is very crucial as it will determine the elimination process that should take place to counter the intrusion. This paper proposes the application of standard Genetic Algorithm (GA) that combines with immune algorithm process to enhance the computer system’s capability in recognizing possible intrusion occurrence in a computer system. Simulation was conducted numerous times to test the effectiveness of the proposed intrusion detection system by manipulating the parameter values for genetic operators utilized in GA. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown in the gathered results and the analysis conducted further supports and proves that Immune Genetic Algorithm (IGA) has the capability to predict the occurrence of intrusion in computer network.

Distributed Service Denial (DDoS) is a type of network attack, which each year increases in volume and intensity.  DDoS attacks also form part of the major types of cyber security threats so far. Early detection plays a key role in avoiding the catastrophic effects on server infrastructure from DDoS attacks. Detection techniques in the traditional Intrusion Detection System (IDS) are far from perfect compared to a number of modern techniques and tools used by attackers, because the traditional IDS only uses signature-based detection or anomaly-based detection models and causes a lot of false positive flags, since the flow of computer network data packets has complex properties in terms of both size and source. Based on the  deficiency in the ordinary IDS, this study aims to detect DDoS attacks by using machine learning techniques to enhance IDS policy development.  According to the experiment the selection of features plays an important role in the precision of the detection results and in the performance of machine learning in classification problems. The combination of seven key selected dataset features used as an input neural network classifier in this study provides the highest accuracy value at 97.76%.

As we know internet of Things (IoT) is one of the fastest growing paradigm which is composed of Internet and different physical devices with different domains or the smart applications like home automation, business automation applications, health and environmental monitoring applications. The dependency on IOT devices is increasing day by day with our daily activities, which leads to most important challenge for security. Since having a better monitoring system for better security is a need. From more than two decades the concept or the frame work called IDS (Intrusion detection system) is playing important role for detecting the attacks in the network. Since the network attacks are not fixed in nature, a new type of attacks are happening on the network applications. There are many traditional IDS techniques are available but they are complex to apply. Since machine learning is one of the important area which is achieving good results in many applications. In this paper we study about the different machine learning techniques used till now and the methodology for the attack detection and the validation strategy. We will also discuss about the performance metrics.
