Thus, intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are considered one of the most essential components for securing organizational networks. They are the first line of defense against online threats and are responsible for quickly identifying potential network intrusions. Mainly, IDSs analyze the network traffic to detect any malicious activities in the network. Today, networks are expanding tremendously as the demand for network services is expanding. This expansion leads to diverse data types and complexities in the network, which may limit the applicability of the developed algorithms. Moreover, viruses and malicious attacks are changing in their quantity and quality. Therefore, recently, several security researchers have developed IDSs using several innovative techniques, including artificial intelligence methods. This work aims to propose a support vector machine (SVM)-based deep learning system that will classify the data extracted from servers to determine the intrusion incidents on social media. To implement deep learning-based IDSs for multiclass classification, the CSE-CIC-IDS 2018 dataset has been used for system evaluation. The CSE-CIC-IDS 2018 dataset was subjected to several preprocessing techniques to prepare it for the training phase. The proposed model has been implemented in 100,000 instances of a sample dataset. This study demonstrated that the accuracy, true-positive recall, precision, specificity, false-positive recall, and F-score of the proposed model were 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 0%, and 100%, respectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23218959","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,3]],"date-time":"2023-11-03T10:59:54Z","timestamp":1699009194000},"page":"8959","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Advancing Network Security with AI: SVM-Based Deep Learning for Intrusion Detection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8504-3254","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Khadija M.","family":"Abuali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Networks, College of Computer Sciences and Information Technology, King Faisal University, Al-Ahsa 31982, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liyth","family":"Nissirat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Networks, College of Computer Sciences and Information Technology, King Faisal University, Al-Ahsa 31982, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1814-1269","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aida","family":"Al-Samawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Networks, College of Computer Sciences and Information Technology, King Faisal University, Al-Ahsa 31982, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6687023","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/6687023","article-title":"Intrusion Detection Techniques in Social Media Cloud: Review and Future Directions","volume":"2023","author":"Abuali","year":"2023","journal-title":"Wirel.
