Makine Öğrenmesi Tabanlı Saldırı Tespit Sistemleri Üzerine Sistematik Bir Literatür Taraması

Özet (abstract)

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in cybersecurity, especially for creating Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs), has become increasingly important. These systems are essential for detecting malicious behaviour, identifying network issues, and stopping cyberattacks in real time. Despite extensive research on various ML and Deep Learning (DL) models for IDS, the current literature remains incomplete. It has many different datasets, methods, and evaluation standards. As cyber threats become more advanced, it is crucial to conduct a thorough analysis of ML techniques for intrusion detection. The goal of this Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is to provide a full picture of the most recent academic articles on ML-based IDS. The study addresses important research questions about the most widely used algorithms, the types of attacks and network environments covered, the methodological problems that remain unsolved, and the new trends that should shape future research. Following the PRISMA framework, we conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed articles published between January 2022 and May 2025. We searched IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and SpringerLink, yielding 22,558 initial records. After carefully applying strict inclusion criteria, 125 papers were selected for the final analysis. We created a standardised data extraction form (i.e., using MS Excel) to gather bibliographic details, research emphasis, methodological strategies, datasets, evaluation criteria, and recognised constraints. We employed thematic analysis to develop a clear taxonomy. We identified five main research themes in our analysis: (1) ensemble and hybrid learning pipelines focused on performance optimisation (30 papers), (2) context-specific IDS designs for Internet of Things (IoT), cloud, and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) environments (34 papers), (3) data-centric engineering that deals with class imbalance and feature selection (20 papers), (4) deep neural architectures for representation learning (31 papers), and (5) trustworthiness concerns like adversarial robustness, zero-day detection, and Explainable AI (XAI) (10 papers). Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Random Forests are the most commonly used algorithms, often combined. Nonetheless, significant deficiencies remain: about 2% of papers incorporate XAI, only 4% focus on adversarial robustness, and none validate their models in real-world production settings. Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks are the most common types in the literature, whereas Web attacks, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats remain poorly studied. The number of publications grows at an average of 30.2% annually, but the field still relies on legacy benchmark datasets rather than operational validation.
