Learn to defend ML-based Intrusion Detection Systems against adversarial attacks with SHIELD-IDS, a structurally heterogeneous ensemble approach

advanced Published 9 Jun 2026
Action Steps
  1. Apply Z-score normalization to network flow features to reduce sensitivity to perturbations
  2. Use Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to identify and filter out irrelevant features
  3. Implement Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) classifier selection with Thompson Sampling to adapt to changing attack patterns
  4. Configure a structurally heterogeneous ensemble with integrated layered defense to improve detection accuracy
  5. Test the SHIELD-IDS approach against various adversarial attack scenarios to evaluate its effectiveness

Title: SHIELD-IDS: Structurally Heterogeneous Ensemble with Integrated Layered Defense for Intrusion Detection Systems

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.07716v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adversarial attacks pose a serious and growing threat to Machine Learning (ML)-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), where imperceptible perturbations to network flow features can systematically mislead classifiers into accepting malicious traffic as benign. The IDS-Anta framework partially addresses this through Z-score normalization, Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), and Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) classifier selection with Thompson Sampling,
