In this paper, we propose a novel anomaly detection method for data centers based on a combination of graphstructure and abnormal attention mechanism. The method leverages the sensor monitoring data from targetpower substations to construct multidimensional time series. These time series are subsequently transformed intograph structures, and corresponding adjacency matrices are obtained. By incorporating the adjacency matricesand additional weights associated with the graph structure, an aggregation matrix is derived. The aggregationmatrix is then fed into a pre-trained graph convolutional neural network (GCN) to extract graph structure features.Moreover, both themultidimensional time series segments and the graph structure features are inputted into a pretrainedanomaly detectionmodel, resulting in corresponding anomaly detection results that help identify abnormaldata. The anomaly detection model consists of a multi-level encoder-decoder module, wherein each level includesa transformer encoder and decoder based on correlation differences. The attention module in the encoding layeradopts an abnormal attention module with a dual-branch structure. Experimental results demonstrate that ourproposed method significantly improves the accuracy and stability of anomaly detection.

Anomaly Detection in Imbalanced Encrypted Traffic with Few Packet Metadata-Based Feature Extraction

In the IoT(Internet of Things)domain,the increased use of encryption protocols such as SSL/TLS,VPN(Virtual Private Network),and Tor has led to a rise in attacks leveraging encrypted traffic.While research on anomaly detection using AI(Artificial Intelligence)is actively progressing,the encrypted nature of the data poses challenges for labeling,resulting in data imbalance and biased feature extraction toward specific nodes.This study proposes a reconstruction error-based anomaly detection method using an autoencoder(AE)that utilizes packet metadata excluding specific node information.The proposed method omits biased packet metadata such as IP and Port and trains the detection model using only normal data,leveraging a small amount of packet metadata.This makes it well-suited for direct application in IoT environments due to its low resource consumption.In experiments comparing feature extraction methods for AE-based anomaly detection,we found that using flowbased features significantly improves accuracy,precision,F1 score,and AUC(Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve)score compared to packet-based features.Additionally,for flow-based features,the proposed method showed a 30.17%increase in F1 score and improved false positive rates compared to Isolation Forest and OneClassSVM.Furthermore,the proposedmethod demonstrated a 32.43%higherAUCwhen using packet features and a 111.39%higher AUC when using flow features,compared to previously proposed oversampling methods.This study highlights the impact of feature extraction methods on attack detection in imbalanced,encrypted traffic environments and emphasizes that the one-class method using AE is more effective for attack detection and reducing false positives compared to traditional oversampling methods.

Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection Based on Spatial-Temporal Network and Transformer in Industrial Internet of Things

In the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT),sensors generate time series data to reflect the working state.When the systems are attacked,timely identification of outliers in time series is critical to ensure security.Although many anomaly detection methods have been proposed,the temporal correlation of the time series over the same sensor and the state(spatial)correlation between different sensors are rarely considered simultaneously in these methods.Owing to the superior capability of Transformer in learning time series features.This paper proposes a time series anomaly detection method based on a spatial-temporal network and an improved Transformer.Additionally,the methods based on graph neural networks typically include a graph structure learning module and an anomaly detection module,which are interdependent.However,in the initial phase of training,since neither of the modules has reached an optimal state,their performance may influence each other.This scenario makes the end-to-end training approach hard to effectively direct the learning trajectory of each module.This interdependence between the modules,coupled with the initial instability,may cause the model to find it hard to find the optimal solution during the training process,resulting in unsatisfactory results.We introduce an adaptive graph structure learning method to obtain the optimal model parameters and graph structure.Experiments on two publicly available datasets demonstrate that the proposed method attains higher anomaly detection results than other methods.

Internet of Things(IoT)is vulnerable to data-tampering(DT)attacks.Due to resource limitations,many anomaly detection systems(ADSs)for IoT have high false positive rates when detecting DT attacks.This leads to the misreporting of normal data,which will impact the normal operation of IoT.To mitigate the impact caused by the high false positive rate of ADS,this paper proposes an ADS management scheme for clustered IoT.First,we model the data transmission and anomaly detection in clustered IoT.Then,the operation strategy of the clustered IoT is formulated as the running probabilities of all ADSs deployed on every IoT device.In the presence of a high false positive rate in ADSs,to deal with the trade-off between the security and availability of data,we develop a linear programming model referred to as a security trade-off(ST)model.Next,we develop an analysis framework for the ST model,and solve the ST model on an IoT simulation platform.Last,we reveal the effect of some factors on the maximum combined detection rate through theoretical analysis.Simulations show that the ADS management scheme can mitigate the data unavailability loss caused by the high false positive rates in ADS.

System logs,serving as a pivotal data source for performance monitoring and anomaly detection,play an indispensable role in assuring service stability and reliability.Despite this,the majority of existing log-based anomaly detection methodologies predominantly depend on the sequence or quantity attributes of logs,utilizing solely a single Recurrent Neural Network(RNN)and its variant sequence models for detection.These approaches have not thoroughly exploited the semantic information embedded in logs,exhibit limited adaptability to novel logs,and a single model struggles to fully unearth the potential features within the log sequence.Addressing these challenges,this article proposes a hybrid architecture based on amultiscale convolutional neural network,efficient channel attention and mogrifier gated recurrent unit networks(LogCEM),which amalgamates multiple neural network technologies.Capitalizing on the superior performance of robustly optimized BERT approach(RoBERTa)in the realm of natural language processing,we employ RoBERTa to extract the original word vectors from each word in the log template.In conjunction with the enhanced Smooth Inverse Frequency(SIF)algorithm,we generate more precise log sentence vectors,thereby achieving an in-depth representation of log semantics.Subsequently,these log vector sequences are fed into a hybrid neural network,which fuses 1D Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Network(MSCNN),Efficient Channel Attention Mechanism(ECA),and Mogrifier Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU).This amalgamation enables themodel to concurrently capture the local and global dependencies of the log sequence and autonomously learn the significance of different log sequences,thereby markedly enhancing the efficacy of log anomaly detection.To validate the effectiveness of the LogCEM model,we conducted evaluations on two authoritative open-source datasets.The experimental results demonstrate that LogCEM not only exhibits excellent accuracy and robustness,but also outperforms the current mainstream log anomaly detection methods.
