The research proposes a deep learning intrusion detection system that combines a pretraining approach with deep autoencoder and deep neural network through hyperparameter optimization procedures. Testing on the NSL-KDD and CSE-CIC-ID2018 datasets shows improved performance metrics in multiclass classification.
A network intrusion detection system (NIDS) is a solution that mitigates the threat of attacks on a network. The success of a NIDS depends on the success of its algorithm and the performance of its method in recognizing attacks. We propose a deep learning intrusion detection system (IDS) using a pretraining approach with deep autoencoder (PTDAE) combined with a deep neural network (DNN). Models were developed using hyperparameter optimization procedures. This research provides an alternative solution to deep learning structure models through an automatic hyperparameter optimization process that combines grid search and random search techniques. The automated hyperparameter optimization process helps determine the value of hyperparameters and the best categorical hyperparameter configuration to improve detection performance. The proposed model was tested on the NSL-KDD, and CSE-CIC-ID2018 datasets. In the pretraining phase, we present the results of applying our technique to three feature extraction methods: deep autoencoder (DAE), autoencoder (AE), and stack autoencoder (SAE). The best results are obtained for the DAE method. These performance results also successfully outperform previous approaches in terms of performance metrics in multiclass classification.
