Abstract

Cyber-attacks have always been a great threat to the IT sector. Network intrusion also known as APT is a major concern to all the global scale industries and government sectors. APT in a brief refers to persistent long term multi-stage attack whose main goal is to infiltrate the target network and gather sensitive information anonymously which can lead to great financial losses. These attacks are generally launched with an intention to steal data rather than to cause damage. This thesis aims at developing a system that can detect an APT attack using the concept of machine learning. The thesis aims at boosting the overall accuracy of the prediction by making use of an ensemble learning algorithm. An ensemble-based algorithm is a hybrid algorithm that is formed by a combination of two or more sets of models.
