Noise Robust One-Class Intrusion Detection on Dynamic Graphs

Abstract

In the domain of network intrusion detection, robustness against contaminated and noisy data inputs remains a critical challenge. This study introduces a probabilistic version of the Temporal Graph Network Support Vector Data Description (TGN-SVDD) model, designed to enhance detection accuracy in the presence of input noise. By predicting parameters of a Gaussian distribution for each network event, our model is able to naturally address noisy adversarials and improve robustness compared to a baseline model. Our experiments on a modified CIC-IDS2017 data set with synthetic noise demonstrate significant improvements in detection performance compared to the baseline TGN-SVDD model, especially as noise levels increase.
