Abstract

The increasing sophistication and frequency of cyberattacks have made Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) a critical component of modern cybersecurity. This work presents D-MAGIC, a novel real-time NIDS that leverages zero-shot learning and graph-based dynamic clustering to detect known and unknown threats. Unlike traditional systems that rely on labeled datasets and predefined attack signatures, D-MAGIC operates unsupervised, identifying anomalies by detecting deviations from normal network behavior. By embedding the relationships between network flows into a graph structure and dynamically clustering similar patterns, D-MAGIC can detect coordinated attacks and emerging threats with minimal delay. Experimental results on the CIC-IDS-2017 and CSE-CIC-IDS-2018 datasets demonstrate that D-MAGIC achieves an improvement of up to 12% based on the standard F1 score compared to state-of-the-art methods, while significantly reducing false positives and ensuring rapid, real-time detection with minimal detection latency.
