Abstract: Due to the flaws in shared memory, settings, and network access, distributed systems on a network always have been susceptible to cyber intrusions. Co-users on the same server give attackers the chance to monitor the activity of many other users and launch an attack when those users' security is at risk. Building completely secure network topologies immune from risks and assaults has traditionally been the goal. It is also hard to create an architecture that is 100 percent safe due to its open-ended nature. The precise parameters and infrastructure design whereby the strike is instantiated are a constant which can always be detected regardless of the sort of attack. This work now have the chance to simulate any abnormality and subsequent attack possibilities using network parameter values thanks to the increased usage of algorithms for machine learning and data-gathering tools. This work proposes a Gaussian model to forecast the likelihood of an attack occurring depending on certain system parameters. This work model a univariate and a multivariate Gaussian model on the training dataset. This work makes use of various threshold values to predict whether the data point is an inlier or an outlier. This research examines accuracies for various threshold values. An important challenge in an anomaly detection situation is class imbalance. As long as this work just utilizes training data, a class imbalance is not a problem. Our data-driven results show that combining machine learning with Gaussian-based models might be a useful tool for analyzing network intrusions. Although more steps are being made to boost digital space security, machine learning algorithms may be utilized to examine any abnormal behavior that is left uncontrolled.
