Abstract: The intrusion detection has become core part of any network of computers due to increasing amount of digital content available. In parallel, the data breaches and malware attacks have also grown in large numbers which makes the role of intrusion detection more essential. Even though many existing techniques are successfully used for detecting intruders but new variants of malware and attacks are being released every day. To counterfeit these new types of attacks, intrusion detection must be designed with state of art techniques such as Deep learning. At present the Deep learning techniques have a strong role in Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision and Speech Processing. This paper is focused on reviewing the role of deep learning techniques for intrusion detection and proposing an efficient deep Auto Encoder (AE) based intrusion detection technique. The intrusion detection is implemented in two stages with a binary classifier and multiclass classification algorithm (dense neural network). The performance of the proposed approach is presented and compared with parallel methods used for intrusion detection. The reconstruction error of the AE model is compared with the PCA and the performance of both anomaly detection and the multiclass classification is analyzed using metrics such as accuracy and false alarm rate. The compressed representation of the AE model helps to lessen the false alarm rate of both anomaly detection and attack classification using SVM and dense NN model respectively.
