Abstract: As network infrastructures continue to expand, the complexity and frequency of cyber threats have significantly increased, highlighting the need for more effective Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). This study introduces a hybrid approach combining an Enhanced Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with Linear Regression to identify and categorize network intrusions such as BENIGN traffic, DoS Slowloris, and DoS Hulk attacks. Unlike conventional IDS frameworks that often suffer from high false alert rates and inadequate feature processing, the proposed model utilizes deep learning to extract meaningful spatial features from traffic data. The CNN component captures intricate patterns, while Linear Regression aids in refining classification by pinpointing key behavioral indicators of attacks. Evaluations show that this approach delivers improved detection accuracy, faster anomaly identification, and fewer false positives. Its real-time performance and flexibility make it well-suited for use in cloud-based platforms, enterprise systems, and IoT-driven environments.
