RNNSecureNet: Recurrent neural networks for Cyber security use-cases

Abstract: Recurrent neural network (RNN) is an effective neural network in solving very complex supervised and unsupervised tasks. There has been a significant improvement in RNN field such as natural language processing, speech processing, computer vision and other multiple domains. This paper deals with RNN application on different use cases like Incident Detection, Fraud Detection, and Android Malware Classification. The best performing neural network architecture is chosen by conducting different chain of experiments for different network parameters and structures. The network is run up to 1000 epochs with learning rate set in the range of 0.01 to 0.5.Obviously, RNN performed very well when compared to classical machine learning algorithms. This is mainly possible because RNNs implicitly extracts the underlying features and also identifies the characteristics of the data. This helps to achieve better accuracy.
