Machine Learning-Based Cyber Defense for Cloud Infrastructure: An Adaptive Deep Q-Network Architecture for Intelligent Intrusion Detection and Automated Threat Mitigation

With the increasing complexity of cyber assaults in cloud environments, adaptable security solutions are needed that can support real-time detection and autonomous response. In this paper, we propose a reinforcement learning-based dynamic cyber defense framework. We deploy a Deep Q-Network DQN to...

A Practical Adversarial Attack against Sequence-Based Deep Learning Malware Classifiers

Sequence-based deep learning models e.g., RNNs, can detect malware by analyzing its behavioral sequences. Meanwhile, these models are susceptible to adversarial attacks. Attackers can create adversarial samples that alter the sequence characteristics of behavior sequences to deceive malware...

Adaptive Malware Detection Using Sequential Feature Selection: a Dueling Double Deep Q-Network (D3QN) Framework for Intelligent Classification

Traditional malware detection methods exhibit computational inefficiency due to exhaustive feature extraction requirements, creating accuracy-efficiency trade-offs that limit real-time deployment. We formulate malware classification as a Markov Decision Process with episodic feature acquisition a...
