Abstract

Proliferation of technology, coupled with networking growth, has catapulted cybersecurity to the forefront of modern security concerns. In this landscape, the precise detection of cyberattacks and anomalies within networks is crucial, necessitating the development of efficient intrusion detection systems (IDS). This article introduces a framework utilizing the fusion of fuzzy sets with support vector machines (SVM), named FSVM. The core strategy of FSVM lies in calculating the significance of network features to determine their relative importance. Features with minimal significance are prudently disregarded, a method akin to feature selection. This process not only curtails the computational burden of the classification algorithm but also ensures the preservation of high accuracy levels. To ascertain the efficacy of the FSVM model, we have employed a publicly available dataset from Kaggle, which encompasses two distinct decision labels. Our evaluation methodology involves a comprehensive comparison of the classification accuracy of the processed dataset against four contemporary models in the field. Key performance metrics scores are meticulously calculated for each model. The comparative analysis reveals that the FSVM model demonstrates a marked superiority over its counterparts, enhancing classification accuracy by a minimum of 3%. These findings underscore the FSVM model’s robustness and reliability, positioning it as a highly effective tool in the realm of cybersecurity.
