• Abstract: Rule-based IDS (intrusion detection systems) are being replaced by more robust neural IDS, which demonstrate great potential in the field of Cybersecurity. However, these ML approaches continue to rely on ad-hoc feature engineering techniques, which lack the capacity to vectorize inputs in ways that are fully relevant to the discovery of anomalous cyber activity. We propose a deep end-to-end framework with NLP-inspired components for identifying potentially malicious behaviors on enterprise computer networks. We also demonstrate the efficacy of this technique on the recently released DARPA OpTC data set.

• Robustness of ML-Enhanced IDS to Stealthy Adversaries [0.0]
  Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have demonstrated the capacity to efficiently build a prototype of "normal" cyber behaviors. Because these are largely black boxes, their acceptance requires proof of robustness to stealthy adversaries. We train an autoencoder-based anomaly detection system on network activity with various proportions of malicious activity mixed in and demonstrate that they are robust to this sort of poisoning.
