Abstract
Network security anomaly detection constitutes a critical defense mechanism in contemporary cybersecurity frameworks. We present a fusion CNN-RNN (convolutional neural network-recurrent neural network) model integrating spatial pattern recognition with temporal modelling for network anomaly detection, employing three-branch architecture processing 41 attributes with regularisation for severe imbalance (U2R 0.1%). Comprehensive validation on the NSL-KDD benchmark dataset establishes that our fusion paradigm outperforms existing machine learning approaches in both dual-class and quintuple-class classification challenges, achieving performance improvements of 11.5% and 29.8%, respectively.
