With more uses of internet-based services, the risk of cyberattacks is growing continuously. To analyze these research trends for malware and intrusion detection, the authors applied the topic modeling approach in the study by using the LDA (latent dirichlet allocation) and calculating the maximum and minimum probability of the words, which appears in the large collection of text. The LDA technique is useful in finding the hidden topics for further research in the areas of network and cybersecurity. In this chapter, they collected the abstract of two thousand papers from the Scopus library from 2014 to 2021. These collected papers are from reputed publications such as Elsevier, Springer, and IEEE Transactions. The main aim of this study is to find research trends based on keywords that are untouched or on which less research work has been done. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this will be the first study done by using the LDA technique for topic modeling in the areas of network security to demonstrate the research gap and trends for malware and intrusion detection systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
