Enhancing Network Intrusion Detection Systems: A Multi-Layer Ensemble Approach to Mitigate Adversarial Attacks
This paper proposes a novel multi-layer ensemble defense mechanism combining stacking classifiers, autoencoders, and adversarial training to enhance the robustness of machine learning-based Network Intrusion Detection Systems against adversarial attacks generated by GANs and FGSM, demonstrating improved resilience on the UNSW-NB15 and NSL-KDD datasets.
