XFedHunter: An Explainable Federated Learning Framework for Advanced Persistent Threat Detection in SDN. (arXiv:2309.08485v1 [cs.CR])

Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks are highly sophisticated and employ
a multitude of advanced methods and techniques to target organizations and
steal sensitive and confidential information. APT attacks consist of multiple
stages and have a defined strategy, utilizing new and innovative techniques and
technologies developed by hackers to evade security software monitoring. To
effectively protect against APTs, detecting and predicting APT indicators with
an explanation from Machine Learning (ML) prediction is crucial to reveal the
characteristics of attackers lurking in …
