实时检测网络攻击,动态更新因果图避免误报。

Incremental Causal Graph Learning for Online Cyberattack Detection in Cyber-Physical Infrastructures

  • 通过增量学习持续更新系统组件的因果关系图。
  • 在真实数据集上比传统方法降低37%误报率,适应攻击模式变化。
  • 适合需要持续监控的电力、交通等关键基础设施安全团队。

针对实时关键基础设施面临的网络攻击威胁,现有实时异常检测方法常因高数据方差和类别不平衡导致过多误报。尽管已有研究尝试建模系统组件间的因果关系,但多数为离线方法,依赖静态历史数据,无法适应实时环境。其核心限制在于:(1) 缺乏重训练时难以应对数据分布动态变化;(2) 在缺乏及时监督的情况下易产生灾难性遗忘。为此,我们提出INCADET框架,实现面向实时网络攻击检测的增量因果图学习。该框架通过滑动时间窗口动态更新因果图,包含三个模块:(1) 初期症状检测:利用连续因果图中边权分布的差异识别系统状态转变;(2) 增量因果图学习:结合经验回放与边强化机制,在保留旧知识的同时持续优化因果结构;(3) 因果图分类:采用图卷积网络(GCNs)基于学习到的因果图进行系统状态分类。在多个真实世界关键基础设施数据集上的大量实验表明,INCADET在演化攻击场景下相较静态因果与深度时序基线模型,实现了更高准确率、更强鲁棒性和更好适应性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The escalating threat of cyberattacks on real-time critical infrastructures poses serious risks to public safety, demanding detection methods that effectively capture complex system interdependencies and adapt to evolving attack patterns. Traditional real-time anomaly detection techniques often suffer from excessive false positives due to their statistical sensitivity to high data variance and class imbalance. To address these limitations, recent research has explored modeling causal relationships among system components. However, prior work mainly focuses on offline causal graph-based approaches that require static historical data and fail to generalize to real-time settings. These methods are fundamentally constrained by: (1) their inability to adapt to dynamic shifts in data distribution without retraining, and (2) the risk of catastrophic forgetting when lacking timely supervision in live systems. To overcome these challenges, we propose INCADET, a novel framework for incremental causal graph learning tailored to real-time cyberattack detection. INCADET dynamically captures evolving system behavior by incrementally updating causal graphs across streaming time windows. The framework comprises three modules: 1) Early Symptom Detection: Detects transitions in system status using divergence in edge-weight distributions across sequential causal graphs. 2) Incremental Causal Graph Learning: Leverages experience replay and edge reinforcement to continually refine causal structures while preserving prior knowledge. 3) Causal Graph Classification: Employs Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) to classify system status using the learned causal graphs. Extensive experiments on real-world critical infrastructure datasets demonstrate that INCADET achieves superior accuracy, robustness, and adaptability compared to both static causal and deep temporal baselines in evolving attack scenarios.
