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

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.

Testing robustness against unforeseen adversaries

We’ve developed a method to assess whether a neural network classifier can reliably defend against adversarial attacks not seen during training. Our method yields a new metric, UAR (Unforeseen Attack Robustness), which evaluates the robustness of a single model against an unanticipated attack, and highlights the need to measure performance across a more diverse range of unforeseen attacks.
