With the recent intensification of geopolitical tensions, cyber-attacks have become increasingly sophisticated and dynamic. Traditional machine learning-based anomaly detection techniques, which rely on pre-trained data, often suffer from performance degradation when exposed to novel attack types not seen during training. To address this limitation, this study proposes a continual learning-based anomaly detection framework capable of incrementally incorporating new attack patterns without forgetting previously learned information. The proposed method consists of three key stages: first, preprocessing and data augmentation are applied to construct high-quality, balanced datasets; second, a base anomaly detection model is trained; and third, new attack data are incrementally integrated to continuously update and evaluate the model. To enhance adaptability and efficiency, the framework incorporates Memory-LGBM, a lightweight architecture that combines a prototype-based memory module with a gradient-free LGBM classifier. The model maintains class-wise latent representations instead of raw samples, enabling compact, memory-efficient learning. Experimental results on the CICIDS 2017 dataset demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms existing continual learning methods in accuracy, adaptability, and resistance to forgetting, making it a practical and scalable solution for real-world anomaly detection scenarios that demand rapid adaptation, strong knowledge retention, and low computational overhead.
To minimize cybersecurity risks in weapon systems, the implementation of the Ko-rean Risk Management Framework (K-RMF) has become essential. However, a significant 'strategic gap' exists between high-level RMF controls and technical MITRE ATT&CK techniques, rendering manual mapping labor-intensive. This study proposes an automated mitigation-driven pipeline that integrates Sentence-BERT (SBERT) with the struc-tural defense relationships of the ATT&CK knowledge graph. To address the data cover-age limitations of the CTID silver standard, we introduce Recall@restricted as a calibrated performance metric. Experimental evaluation demonstrated that the proposed ensemble framework achieves a Recall@restricted of 0.74, significantly outperforming baseline SBERT-only models. These findings suggest that deterministic mitigation relationships effectively complement semantic representations, providing a robust framework for aligning RMF controls with adversarial behaviors.
