The Department of Computer Engineering (DEI) of the Engineering Institute of Porto (ISEP), in collaboration with the Master in Computer Engineering (MEI), invites to participate in another lecture, this time with the theme “A Novel Approach to Network Traffic Analysis: the HERA tool”, which will take place on March 6th, at 6 pm, at ISEP.
The event will take place in room B202.
Abstract
Cybersecurity threats highlight the need for robust network intrusion detection systems to identify malicious behaviour. These systems, however, rely heavily on large high-quality datasets to train machine learning models capable of detecting patterns and predicting threats. In the past two decades, researchers have produced a multitude of datasets with varying degrees of complexity and diversity. However, some of the more frequently used datasets generated with the widely used tool CICFlowMeter contain inaccuracies which can lead to skewed results and reduced system effectiveness. Moreover, the tools used to generate flow data can be difficult to use and unintuitive. For these reasons, HERA was created to streamline the creation of network intrusion detection datasets and solve the aforementioned problems having demonstrated accurate flow and label generation.
