Since the beginning of the 21st century, the development of computer networks has been advancing rapidly, and the world has gradually entered a new era of digital connectivity. While enjoying the convenience brought by digitization, people are also facing increasingly serious threats from network security (NS) issues. Due to the significant shortcomings in accuracy and efficiency of traditional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks (NN), different scholars have conducted research on computer NS situation prediction methods to address the aforementioned issues of traditional LSTM based NS situation prediction algorithms. Although these algorithms can improve the accuracy of NS situation prediction to a certain extent, there are still some limitations, such as low computational efficiency, low accuracy, and high model complexity. To address these issues, new methods and techniques have been proposed, such as using NN and machine learning techniques to improve the accuracy and efficiency of prediction models. This article referred to the Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) improved by Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and introduced a multi model NS situation prediction algorithm with attention mechanism. In addition, the improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm can be utilized to optimize hyperparameters and improve the training efficiency of the GRU NN. The experimental results on the UNSW-NB15 dataset show that the algorithm had an average absolute error of 0.0843 in terms of NS prediction accuracy. The RMSE was 0.0932, which was lower than traditional prediction algorithms LSTM and GRU, and significantly improved prediction accuracy.
