Network Anomaly Detection
Network anomaly detection aims to identify unusual patterns in network traffic indicative of security breaches or system failures. Current research heavily utilizes deep learning, particularly autoencoders, generative adversarial networks (GANs), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), often combined with other techniques like Isolation Forests and transformers to improve accuracy and reduce false positives. These advancements address challenges posed by high-dimensional data, evolving attack methods, and the need for efficient, scalable solutions, impacting network security and reliability across various applications, including IoT and 5G networks. Furthermore, incorporating explainable AI (XAI) methods is gaining traction to enhance model transparency and improve performance.
