One method of network cyber-security, based on artificial intelligence

The Faculty of Computer Systems and Technologies at the Technical University - Sofia conducts research in the field of application of the artificial intelligence methods in cybersecurity within the framework of a project funded by the National Science Fund at the Ministry of Education and Science. The expected result is: after modeling and experimenting with different methods in different applications, to produce a ”Report on the recommended use of intelligent methods for enhancing network and information security”. The results of experiments with one such method aimed at cyber-protection of telecommunication networks are considered in this paper. The successfully tested Network Protection module of so-called Network Gateway Monitoring System could be defined as a network server to protect the network from attacks such as foot-printing, network scanning, SYN flood, ping sweep, port scanning, session hijacking and more.
