The data collected by sensors is streaming data in the Internet of Things(IoT). Although existing deep learningbased anomaly detection methods generally perform well on static data, they struggle to respond timely to streaming data after distribution changes. However, streaming data suffers from conceptual drift due to the highly dynamic nature of IoT. In network security, concept drift-oriented anomaly detection is a crucial task, because it can adjust the model to adapt to the latest data, and detect attacks in time. Existing streaming anomaly detection methods are confronted with some challenges, including of the latency of model updates, the uneven importance of new data, and the self-poisoning due to model self-updates. To tackle the above challenges, we propose a knowledge distillation based adaptive anomaly detection model towards concept-drift, ADTCD. ADTCD transfers the knowledge of the teacher model to the student model and only updates the student model to reduce the delay. We construct an algorithm of dynamically adjusting model parameters, which dynamically adjusts model weights through local inference on new samples, in order to improving the models responsiveness to new distribution data, meanwhile solving the problem of uneven importance of new data. In additions, we adopt a one-class support vector-based outlier removal method to tackle the self-poisoning problem. In comprehensive experiments on seven high-dimensional datasets, ADTCD achieves an AUC improvement of 12.46% compared to the state-of-the-art streaming anomaly detection methods. Our future direction will focus on exploring the concept drift problem using methods beyond autoencoders.

Anomaly detection plays a vital role as a crucial security measure for edge devices in Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things (AIoT). With the rapid development of IoT ( Internet of Things), changes in system configurations and the introduction of new devices can lead to significant alterations in device relationships and data flows within the IoT, thereby triggering concept drift. Previously trained anomaly detection models fail to adapt to the changed distribution of streaming data, resulting in a high number of false positive events. This paper aims to address the issue of concept drift in IoT anomaly detection by proposing a comprehensive Concept Drift Detection, Interpretation, and Adaptation framework (CDDIA). We focus on accurately capturing the concept drift of normal data in unsupervised scenarios. To interpret drift samples, we integrate a search optimization algorithm and the SHAP method, providing a comprehensive interpretation of drift samples at both the sample and feature levels. Simultaneously, by utilizing the sample-level interpretation results for filtering new and old samples, we retrain the anomaly detection model to mitigate the impact of concept drift and reduce the false positive rate. This integrated strategy demonstrates significant advantages in maintaining model stability and reliability. The experimental results indicate that our method outperforms five baseline methods in adaptability across three datasets and provides interpretability for samples experiencing concept drift.

By violating semantic constraints that the control process impose, the semantic attack leads the Industry Control Systems (ICS) into an undesirable state or critical state. The spread of semantic attack has caused huge economic losses and casualties to critical infrastructure. Therefore, detecting semantic attack is referred to an urgent and critical task. However, few existing detecting techniques can achieve satisfactory effects in detecting semantic attack of ICS, due to the high requirements of complete critical state-based semantic behavior features description, joint detection on multivariate type state variables, and validity of field states datasets under semantic attacks. In an effort to deal with above challenges, We label device states databases with temporal characteristics and divide impacts on states of field devices under semantic attacks into three categories, including absent in states set, confused sequences, irregular frequency. On this basis, we establish a behavioral model based on secondary labeling of states-duration evolution graph (BMSLS), then implement an adaptive secure state-based semantic attack detection framework furtherly. Compared with the traditional Auto Regression (AR) algorithm, the newer time series correlation graph model, and other five deep learning algorithms, our proposed framework demonstrates the superior effect on the detection of semantic attack.
