Rigorous Evaluation of Machine Learning Intrusion Detection for Water Treatment Systems on SWaT Network Traffic
Sebastian Mesca, Emil Pricop, Grigore Stamatescu
Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) for industrial control networks are commonly evaluated using random stratified splits, placing rows from every recorded attack in both training and test sets. Although convenient, this practice measures a model’s ability to recognise repetitions…
