A holistic review of Network Anomaly Detection Systems: A comprehensive survey

Abstract

Abstract Network Anomaly Detection Systems (NADSs) are gaining a more important role in most network defense systems for detecting and preventing potential threats. The paper discusses various aspects of anomaly-based Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs). The paper explains cyber kill chain models and cyber-attacks that compromise network systems. Moreover, the paper describes various Decision Engine (DE) approaches, including new ensemble learning and deep learning approaches. The paper also provides more details about benchmark datasets for training and validating DE approaches. Most of NADSs’ applications, such as Data Centers, Internet of Things (IoT), as well as Fog and Cloud Computing, are also discussed. Finally, we present several experimental explanations which we follow by revealing various promising research directions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
