An optimized LSTM-based deep learning model for anomaly network intrusion detection

The increasing prevalence of network connections is driving a continuous surge in the requirement for network security and safeguarding against cyberattacks. This has triggered the need to develop and implement intrusion detection systems (IDS), one of the key components of network perimeter aimed at thwarting and alleviating the issues presented by network invaders. Over time, intrusion detection systems have been instrumental in identifying network breaches and deviations. Several researchers have recommended the implementation of machine learning approaches in IDSs to counteract the menace posed by network intruders. Nevertheless, most previously recommended IDSs exhibit a notable false alarm rate. To…
