Cyber Security Threats and Countermeasures using Machine and Deep Learning Approaches: A Survey

Abstract

<p>Recent advancements in e-business, e-healthcare, e-governance, and online digital transactions have brought valuable benefits. Unfortunately, it raises severe cyber-attacks. Cyberattacks disrupt normal operations, try to retrieve confidential information and defense secrets, and subvert the nation’s defense systems and Internet-connected devices. Cyber security solutions are required to detect, analyze, defend against threats and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. This study gives a detailed survey of different cybersecurity attacks, like Denial-of-service attacks, Botnet Evasion Attacks, Malware invasions, Spam and phishing invasion, Spoofing, Domain Generation algorithms, Probing attacks, R2L, and U2R attacks. This research review emphasizes Machine Learning and Deep Learning-based approaches to Cybersecurity problems. This study’s key highlights are the research challenges, cybersecurity issues, cyber security domains, and tools for the Intrusion detection system. Data sets play a vital role in cybersecurity research; hence, Private and Publically available datasets are reviewed in this study. Various performance matrices are discussed in this survey which can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of cybersecurity solutions.</p>
