Abstract
By presenting an improved Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that combines deep learning with support vector machines (SVM), this research increases network security. The main goal is to increase the accuracy of SVM detection by using a methodical feature selection and optimization technique that is tailored to the complexity of network intrusions. 35 out of the 42 features were chosen for feature selection using RFECV, an algorithmic feature selection technique in machine learning. To ensure that the features preserved are those that contribute most to the model's predictive capacity and that the redundant features are deleted, techniques such as RFECV and feature priority ranking using ExtraTreesClassifier take the model's performance into account during the feature selection process. To improve classifier performance, optimization strategies such as hyperparameter tuning are used, focusing on important data and cutting down on redundancies. The performance of several SVM kernel functions, including linear, polynomial, RBF, and sigmoid, is compared in the study. The Linear model combined with the deep learning model was shown to perform the best. Our model outperforms current IDS frameworks, as demonstrated by comparative analysis, confirming the efficacy of integrating SVMs with deep learning for real-time threat detection. The KDD Cup 99 dataset, which has been widely used as a benchmark for assessing the performance of different IDS models, was used for the work. It offers a consistent, varied, and large dataset so that researchers may evaluate and contrast their methods. Researchers can experiment with feature selection and reduction strategies to enhance IDS performance because of the dataset's broad set of features.
