More sophisticated security measures must be in place as the nature of cyber threats continues to change in favor of complexity, particularly for highly valuable database systems. Efforts to avert new or even complex hazards are hardly supported by basic precautionary measures. Given these conditions, this research article suggests utilizing machine learning (ML) to enhance security by means of anomaly identification and automated reactions to such anomalies within a database system. To detect patterns and indicators of a security breach, large amounts of data can be analyzed using models that incorporate machine learning. The discussion that follows offers many MLALGs in this regard. The benefits of real-time anomaly detection are accessed in order to evaluate real-time threat handling with minimal impact on the database.
In 2020, Gupta and colleagues introduced taxonomy of machine learning models utilized in safe data analytics, highlighting their suitability and constraints for threat discovery and mitigation. The authors highlight the necessity of creating a suitable threat model that will show how cyber threats are always changing and taking on new forms, which is why they advocate for ML-based security solutions that are intelligent and adaptive. Similarly, when employing machine learning models, Xue et al. (2020) talked about security issues and potential solutions. The authors emphasize that evaluating the security of ML-models and countermeasures against hostile attacks is a crucial area of focus for their research. Every one of these examples highlights the potential and needs for machine learning (ML)-based techniques in database security that aim to increase efficiency and capability.
The efficiency of ML-based IDS on imbalanced datasets is the subject of an article by Karatas et al. (2020), which is followed by this discussion. According to this paper, optimized machine learning models will aid in danger identification, lower false alarms, and preserve accessibility and dependability in database systems.
