AI-Driven Real-Time API Security: Explainable Threat Detection for Cloud Environments

IEEE Xplore

Presents an AI-driven framework for real-time API threat detection in cloud environments, combining Isolation Forest anomaly detection with SHAP for explainable, transparent security analytics. Achieves rapid detection, high precision and recall, and supports auditability and regulatory compliance. Demonstrates effectiveness in detecting credential stuffing, token abuse, and deprecated endpoint access with explainable decision-making.

Policy-as-Code Auto-Remediation with Human-Centered Explanations

TechRxiv Preprint

Introduces a policy-as-code framework for automated cloud misconfiguration remediation with human-centered explanations. The system detects violations, synthesizes minimal Terraform patches, and generates didactic diffs to show changes and rationale. It enforces safety invariants, supports rollback, and logs all actions for reproducibility. Evaluation shows an 8× speedup over manual remediation, eliminates over-remediation, and reduces violation recurrence by half through explanations—transforming remediation into a learning opportunity.

AI-Augmented Cyber Labs: Enhancing Cloud-Native Security Education through Adaptive Feedback and Threat Simulation

ACM Digital Library

Presents an AI-augmented cyber lab platform for hands-on, adaptive security training in cloud-native environments. The system integrates Large Language Models for semantic analysis of student artifacts and a Reinforcement Learning agent for dynamic instructional support, all deployed on Kubernetes with automated threat simulation. Evaluation demonstrates high accuracy in identifying misconfigurations (F1-score 0.92), effective adaptation to diverse learner personas, and strong expert ratings for pedagogical value, establishing a validated architecture for next-generation cybersecurity education.

NetSage: Self-Supervised Learning for Real-Time Anomaly Detection in Encrypted Network Traffic

IEEE Xplore

Proposes NetSage, a self-supervised learning framework for automated, real-time anomaly detection in encrypted network traffic using flow-level metadata and temporal features—without labeled data. NetSage employs novel pretext tasks, flow sequence prediction, and masked feature modeling to train deep models that capture complex behavioral patterns. Experiments on CICIDS2017 show NetSage outperforms traditional methods, achieving 96.3% accuracy, 2.1% false positive rate, and real-time inference, offering a scalable, adaptive solution for encrypted network monitoring in the era of widespread encryption and limited labeled data.
