What is it about?

This study introduces SAnDet, an innovative SDN (Software-Defined Networking) anomaly detector architecture designed to enhance network security. SAnDet's three key modules – statistics collection, anomaly detection, and anomaly prevention – leverage cutting-edge technologies like Replicator Neural Networks (RNN) and LSTM-based encoder-decoder (EncDecAD). These technologies analyze network traffic data, identifying unknown cyberattacks with a high level of accuracy. The research demonstrates that EncDecAD outperforms RNN, indicating significant advancements in intrusion detection and network protection. In an era of increasing cybersecurity threats, SAnDet offers a crucial defense for SDN environments, safeguarding critical data and systems.
