Intrusion detection based on generative adversarial network with random forest for cloud networks

Abstract

The development of cloud computing enables individuals and organizations to access a wide range of online programs and services. Because of its nature, numerous users can access and distribute cloud infrastructure. In cloud computing several security threats change the data and operations. A network's ability to detect malicious activity and possible threats is greatly aided by intrusion detection. To solve these issues, intrusion detection based on generative adversarial network with random forest (GAN-RF) for cloud networks is introduced. The function of the generative adversarial networks (GANs) based network abnormality recognition system is evaluated. It uses the CICIDS2018 dataset to detect intrusion. GAN is utilized to improve network anomaly detection in conjunction with an ensemble random forest (RF) classifier. The GAN-RF model achieved 95.01% of accuracy for intrusion detection and obtain better recall and F1-score. Extensive assessments and valuations illustrate the efficiency of the GAN-RF approach in accurately identifying network issues.
