Poisoning Attacks Forensics against Federated Learning-Based Intrusion Detection.

Abstract: Poisoning attacks pose a significant threat to federated learning-based intrusion detection. They can manipulate the training data to degrade the model’s performance. It can also compromise IDS's ability to detect intrusion. Continuous monitoring of federated learning-based intrusion detection systems is sometimes crucial to detect and respond to poisoning attacks frequently. This involves establishing baseline performance metrics and implementing anomaly detection algorithms that can trigger alerts when some movements are observed. In addition, regular penetration testing and security audits should be conducted to identify potential vulnerabilities and proactively address them.

By adopting a comprehensive forensics analysis framework with advanced forensic techniques, organizations can effectively detect, investigate, and mitigate poisoning attacks in federated learning-based IDS. It can also ensure the integrity and reliability of their detection capabilities. In this talk, I will address its challenges, and robust forensics technique that can detect and investigate poisoning attacks, especially in federated learning-based IDS.
