Popis: Currently, with the increasing number of devices connected to the Internet, search for network vulnerabilities to attackers has increased, and protection systems have become indispensable. There are prevalent security attacks, such as the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), which have been causing significant damage to companies. However, through security attacks, it is possible to extract characteristics that identify the type of attack. Thus, it is essential to have fast and effective security identification models. In this work, a novel Intrusion Detection System (IDS) based on the Tree-CNN hierarchical algorithm with the Soft-Root-Sign (SRS) activation function is proposed. The model reduces the training time of the generated model for detecting DDoS, Infiltration, Brute Force, and Web attacks. For performance assessment, the model is implemented in a medium-sized company, analyzing the level of complexity of the proposed solution. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed hierarchical model achieves a significant reduction in execution time, around 36%, and an average detection accuracy of 0.98 considering all the analyzed attacks. Therefore, the results of performance evaluation show that the proposed classifier based on Tree-CNN is of low complexity and requires less processing time and computational resources, outperforming other current IDS based on machine learning algorithms.
