TL;DR

An AI-based threat detection framework that integrates network traffic analysis, preprocessing, feature engineering, threat classification, and automated response is proposed that outperforms conventional methods by providing higher detection accuracy, lower false alarms, and faster response.

Abstract

Modern networks face increasing cyber threats such as malware, ransomware, phishing, DDoS, insider attacks, and advanced persistent threats, making traditional signature-based security systems less effective. Artificial Intelligence (AI), through machine learning and deep learning, enables intelligent threat detection by identifying known and unknown attacks in real time. This study proposes an AI-based threat detection framework that integrates network traffic analysis, preprocessing, feature engineering, threat classification, and automated response. Experimental evaluation using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, false positive rate, and detection latency demonstrates that the proposed framework outperforms conventional methods by providing higher detection accuracy, lower false alarms, and faster response. Despite challenges related to data quality, model interpretability, and computational cost, AI-driven cybersecurity offers a scalable and effective solution for modern network security.

AI-DRIVEN THREAT DETECTION USING DATA SCIENCE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MACHINE LEARNING MODELS ON CYBERSECURITY DATASETS

They originate from the rapid rise of cyber threats such as malware, phishing, ransomware, denial of service, and unauthorised network intrusion, which have proven to be so difficult to tackle that traditional security measures can hardly deal with the issue. Signature-based intrusion detection system techniques in particular, which are commonly adopted by traditional methods, usually lack the ability to detect novel and evolving attack vectors in addition to high false positive rate and response time. In this regard, this paper proposes an AI threat detection framework, employing data science methods to boost cybersecurity performances. The researchers of this paper have tested the effectiveness of several models using a benchmark dataset for cyber security, including CICIDS2017 or NSL-KDD and machine learning techniques such as Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression and XGBoost for evaluating performance. Using measures of accuracy, precision, recall and F1- score, the experiments show that the performance of ensemble learning models is higher than shallow learning models in this research; XGBoost and Random Forest.
