Abstract
The rapid advancement of technology and the proliferation of IoT devices have rendered cyberspace vulnerable, resulting in Significant Cyber Incidents (SCIs). This paper proposes an Enhancing Cyber security: a Comprehensive Approach to the Classification with Prediction of Significant Cyber Incidents through Data Mining with Variation Neural Network with Fox Optimization Algorithm (ECS-SCI-DM-VNN-FOA). The dataset is split into pre-pandemic and post-pandemic SCI subsets, according to the report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Adaptive Variation Bayesian Filter (AVBF) is utilized to remove the noise from the input data. Then the preprocessed input data is supplied to the Improved Window Adaptive Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (IWAGM) for feature extraction. The proposed approach is implemented in Python and its efficacy is evaluated under some metrics, like accuracy, precision, recall, FI-score, sensitivity, computational time, recall, and RoC. The proposed ECS-SCI-DM-VNN-FOA gives 24.91%, 23.76% and 25.98% high accuracy and 30.45%, 23.67% and 29.32% high precision compared with the existing methods, like classification with prediction of cyber events utilizing data mining with machine learning (CRP-SML), Cyber risk prediction via social media big data analytics along statistical machine learning (PECI-MUIP), Mining user interaction patterns in the dark web to forecast enterprise cyber occurrences (CTPA-CSCS) respectively.
