Shrnutí:Modern cyber threats have evolved to sophisticated levels, necessitating advanced intrusion detection systems (IDS) to protect critical network infrastructure. Traditional signature-based and rule-based IDS face challenges in identifying new and evolving attacks, leading organizations to adopt AI-driven detection solutions. This study introduces an AI-powered intrusion detection system that integrates machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques—specifically Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests, Autoencoders, and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)—to enhance detection accuracy while reducing false positive alerts. Feature selection techniques such as SHAP-based analysis are employed to identify the most critical attributes in network traffic, improving model interpretability and efficiency. The system also incorporates reinforcement learning (RL) to enable adaptive intrusion response mechanisms, further enhancing its resilience against evolving threats. The proposed hybrid framework is evaluated using the SDN_Intrusion dataset, achieving an accuracy of 92.8%, a false positive rate of 5.4%, and an F1-score of 91.8%, outperforming conventional IDS solutions. Comparative analysis with prior studies demonstrates its superior capability in detecting both known and unknown threats, particularly zero-day attacks and anomalies. While the system significantly enhances security coverage, challenges in real-time implementation and computational overhead remain. This paper explores potential solutions, including federated learning and explainable AI techniques, to optimize IDS functionality and adaptive capabilities.
