Title
Network Anomaly Detection Using LSTM Based Autoencoder
Abstract
ABSTRACTAnomaly detection aims to discover patterns in data that do not conform to the expected normal behaviour. One of the significant issues for anomaly detection techniques is the availability of labeled data for training/validation of models. In this paper, we proposed a hyper approach based on Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) autoencoder and One-class Support Vector Machine (OC-SVM) to detect anomalies based attacks in an unbalanced dataset, by training the models using only examples of normal classes. The LSTM-autoencoder is trained to learn the normal traffic pattern and to learn the compressed representation of the input data (i.e. latent features) and then feed it to an OC-SVM approach. The hybrid model overcomes the shortcomings of the separate OC-SVM, in which its low capability to operate with massive and high-dimensional datasets. Additionally, we perform our experiments using the most recent dataset (InSDN) of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) for SDN environments. The experimental results show that the proposed model provides higher detection rate and reduces the processing time significantly. Hence, our method provides great confidence in securing SDN networks from malicious traffic.
