Improving Model Performance for Predicting Exfiltration Attacks Through Resampling Strategies by Arif Rahman Hakim, Kalamullah Ramli, Muhammad Salman, Esti Rahmawati Agustina

“… Addressing class imbalance is critical in cybersecurity applications, particularly in scenarios like exfiltration detection, where skewed datasets lead to biased predictions and poor generalization for minority classes. This study investigates five Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) variants, including BorderlineSMOTE, KMeansSMOTE, SMOTEENC, SMOTEENN, and SMOTETomek, to mitigate severe imbalance in our customized tactic-labeled dataset with dominant majority class influence and weak class separability class imbalance. …”
