Abstract:
Despite the many attempts and approaches for anomaly de- tection explored over the years, the automatic detection of rare events in data communication networks remains a com- plex problem. In this paper we introduce Net-GAN, a novel approach to network anomaly detection in time-series, us- ing recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and generative ad- versarial networks (GAN). Different from the state of the art, which traditionally focuses on univariate measurements, Net-GAN detects anomalies in multivariate time-series, ex- ploiting temporal dependencies through RNNs. Net-GAN discovers the underlying distribution of the baseline, multi- variate data, without making any assumptions on its nature, offering a powerful approach to detect anomalies in com- plex, difficult to model network monitoring data.
