Abstract
Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) must meet the security goals while minimizing risks of wrong detections. In this paper,
we study the issue of building a risk-sensitive intrusion detection model. To determinate whether a system calls sequence
is normal or not, we consider not only the probability of this sequence belonging to normal sequences set or intrusion sequences
set, but also the risk of a false detection. We define the risk model to formulate the expected risk of an intrusion detection
decision, and present risk-sensitive machine learning techniques that can produce detection model to minimize the risks of
false negatives and false positives. Meanwhile, this model is a hybrid model that combines misuse intrusion detection and
anomaly intrusion detection. To achieve a satisfying performance, some techniques are applied to extend this model.
