The performance of Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, KNN, Naive Bayes and SVM for identifying Automotive Cybersecurity Attack and Prevention: An Experimental Study

Abstract

The automotive industry has witnessed a significant increase in cyber threats as vehicles become more connected and reliant on software-driven systems. To safeguard against these threats, effective cybersecurity measures must be implemented. This paper explores the use of Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms as a means of bolstering automotive cybersecurity attack prevention. SVM algorithms have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in various domains due to their ability to handle complex and high-dimensional data. By leveraging SVM algorithms, this research aims to enhance the detection and prevention of cybersecurity attacks targeting automotive systems.
 The proposed approach involves training SVM models using labeled datasets that include both normal and anomalous driving scenarios. By analyzing various features and patterns extracted from the data, the SVM models can learn to differentiate between normal and malicious behaviour. These models can then be used in real-time to identify and mitigate potential cyber threats.
 The results of this study is compared with other machine learning algorithm like Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, KNN, Decision Tree, highlight the effectiveness of SVM algorithms in detecting and preventing automotive cybersecurity attacks. The models exhibit high accuracy rates in distinguishing between normal and anomalous behavior, providing a robust defense mechanism against potential threats.
 In conclusion, this research emphasizes the significance of leveraging SVM learning algorithms for automotive cybersecurity attack prevention. By harnessing the power of machine learning, automotive systems can be fortified against cyber threats, ensuring the safety and integrity of vehicles and their passengers.
