[Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone, We are here today to discuss a very important issue: Network Security. Our goal is to learn more about an Anomaly Detection System that uses Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) to detect emerging cyber threats. We will additionally evaluate the effectiveness of this system in protecting IoT networks against malicious actors..

[Audio] The need for sophisticated security solutions is becoming more imperative in today's highly interconnected world. Anomaly detection network security systems have become a viable option to proactively counter cyber threats. This dissertation suggests an advanced anomaly detection system that uses Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) to make synthetic data to get exact detection of network irregularities. The system was evaluated using seven different datasets primarily for IoT networks. This research bolsters existing safety measures and spotlights the importance of excellent data in constructing dependable cybersecurity solutions..

[Audio] Cyberthreats have grown in complexity, leading to the emergence of anomaly detection systems to help protect sensitive data and networks from malicious actors. Organizations have seen an increase in cyberattacks, highlighting the need for anomaly detection systems. It is projected that by 2025, 75% of security organizations will adopt anomaly detection to detect and mitigate attacks. Traditional security methods are increasingly ineffective, as adversaries have developed more sophisticated techniques to remain undetected..

[Audio] Our project has a fourth objective of establishing the foundation for automated network security responses. Utilising ocGAN and bcGAN models, our system is capable of rapidly recognising and classifying strange network activity, so that security personnel and network executors are able to respond quickly and precisely. This fast detection and examination of network traffic data allows us to implement automated response techniques, yielding a more secure network..

[Audio] Network security can be an ongoing challenge due to the ever-changing nature of cyber threats. An anomaly detection system can be developed to address this challenge, using machine learning to identify and respond to abnormal behaviors in real-time and allowing organizations to enhance their security measures. To ensure they are effectively protecting their networks, organizations should understand the capabilities and workings of this system..

[Audio] Network security has become a major concern in the digital world, as digital networks and assets are vulnerable to unauthorized access and data breaches. Anomaly detection systems offer a proactive defence to protect against complex cyber threats, and can provide real-time detection and reporting. The technology relies heavily on machine learning, utilizing either supervised learning with pre-labeled data or unsupervised learning which detects anomalies based on data patterns..

[Audio] In order to ensure the highest level of network security, experts rely heavily on anomaly detection systems. Machine learning algorithms, such as decision trees, support vector machines, and deep learning models, help identify anomalies based on existing patterns or established baselines. Additionally, statistical analysis and clustering techniques, like Z-scores and K-Means clustering, are commonly used to detect abnormalities due to their ability to discern departures of predicted statistical patterns or define groups of data points that share similar traits. Recent advancements in this field have incorporated artificial intelligence and neural networks, like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), as well as hybrid systems combining multiple detection algorithms for enhanced accuracy. Despite these advances, there are still numerous challenges and open issues to overcome, such as imbalanced datasets, scalability issues, and ethical considerations regarding privacy and bias. Future research directions include developing anomaly detection models with higher interpretability, improving the resilience of anomaly detection systems to adversarial attacks, and implementing explicit ethical and legal standards for the responsible use of anomaly detection technologies..

[Audio] Today, the security of digital networks is increasingly relevant, and anomaly detection systems are critical components in this effort. Our study focuses on the methodology for a robust anomaly detection system for network security. Our research begins with the collection and preprocessing of high-quality data, including network traffic logs and real-time API services. This is followed by rigorous data cleaning and preprocessing steps, such as duplicate removal, handling missing values, and feature engineering. We then focus on the theoretical and practical aspects of decision trees, support vector machines, and deep learning models. We also introduce the Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) model for synthetic data creation. We then describe frameworks for anomaly detection in IoT networks, such as the One-Class cGAN (ocGAN) and the Binary Class cGAN (bcGAN). We also present the Multiclass cGAN, which uses multiple bcGAN models for anomaly detection. Finally, we discuss the Detector model architecture, which is a Feed Forward Neural Network with two components: the input layer and dense layer blocks, followed by the output layer. The model is trained using sparse categorical cross-entropy loss, the Adam optimizer, and early stopping methods..

[Audio] Our research on Anomaly Detection System for Network Security presents the findings of our evaluation, including datasets, experimental setup, and ethical considerations. The datasets include seven databases, with the KDD99 dataset having the most influence in intrusion detection. We applied two methods for missing value handling: mean imputation and encoding missing value as '0'. Furthermore, all experiments were done on Google Colab Pro, with due consideration of ethical standards. All datasets were created with the utmost attention to privacy and integrity, and our research was conducted with compliance to ethical standards..

[Audio] Our prototype is an engine for collecting and preprocessing real-time network data. It utilizes the capabilities of Python for flexibility in real-time modeling and data processing, the Pandas and Scapy libraries for data manipulation and packet capture, and TensorFlow for the anomaly detection methods. To eliminate duplicate packets and noise, and format raw data for anomaly detection, the system is programmed in Python, Pandas, Scapy, and TensorFlow. The framework for anomaly detection is designed to ensure constant improvement of efficiency and scalability, with optimization and resource management to ensure responsiveness, and parallel processing to enhance throughput..

[Audio] Discussing the binary classification for anomaly detection systems on network security is important. This classification divides data into two categories, normal and anomalous, aiding in the detection of any unusual events in the network. It could be malicious activity or something else. By classifying the data accurately, it helps to reduce false positives and false negatives, ultimately helping to secure the network better..

[Audio] This system is designed to assess the efficacy of two different models - ocGAN and bcGAN - in detecting network security risks. Applying important performance indicators including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, TNR, FPR, and FNR, it is possible to determine the effectiveness of the proposed anomaly detection models. ocGAN shows great performance in replicating real samples, reaching a minimum detection rate of 97% with uniform results across multiple cross-validations. bcGAN is suitable for binary datasets consisting of normal and suspicious categories, with an average detection rate of 97%, and hitting at least 99% when synthetic data is similar to the original data. Moreover, in multiclass classification trials, bcGAN reveals noteworthy average detection rates, and various regularization techniques, like kernel regularizer, bias regularizer, and activity regularizer, are present to further reinforce the system..
