Adaptive Intrusion Detection System Using Transformer-Based Neural Networks and Continual Learning Approach with Adversarial Investigation

Network intrusion detection systems IDS trained on fixed traffic snapshots decay silently after deployment as threat distributions shift. Fine-tuning models on new attacks triggers catastrophic forgetting, while retraining from scratch is computationally infeasible. Replay-based continual learnin...

Unveiling the Black Box: a Multi-Layer Framework for Explaining Reinforcement Learning-Based Cyber Agents

Reinforcement Learning RL agents are increasingly used to simulate sophisticated cyberattacks, but their decision-making processes remain opaque, hindering trust, debugging, and defensive preparedness. In high-stakes cybersecurity contexts, explainability is essential for understanding how...
