Abstract: In order to address security issues such as malicious intrusion or attacks in the current network, this paper uses machine learning technology to predict the security development trend of computer networks to ensure the normal operation of computers. Firstly, this paper collects data related to network security and performs feature processing on the collected data to achieve data purification. Secondly, this paper chooses radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to train the processed data and uses guided learning algorithm to optimise the machine model. Then, this paper evaluates the model through evaluation indicators such as accuracy and recall rate, and finally establishes a system or service that can receive and predict network security events in real time. Research has found that the error value of using RRFNN for network security situation prediction is less than 0.03, which improves the prediction accuracy by 0.02 compared to using support vector machine systems.

Keywords: intrusion detection system; IDS; data cleaning; radial basis function neural network; RBFNN; mean-square error; MSE.
