Cyber security is identified as an emerging concern for information technology management in business and society, owing to swift advances in telecommunication and wireless technologies. Cyberspace security has had a tremendous impact on numerous crucial infrastructures. Along with current security status data, historical data should be acquired by the system to implement the latest cyber security defense and protection. It also makes intelligent decisions that can provide adaptive security management and control. An intelligent cyber security framework using Hyperparameter Tuning based on Regularized Long Short-Term Memory (HT-RLSTM) technique was developed in this work to elevate the security level of core system assets. To detect various attacks, the proposed framework was trained and tested on the collection of data. Owing to missing values, poor scaling, imbalanced and overlapped data, the data was primarily incomplete and inconsistent. To elevate the decision making for detecting attacks, the inconsistent or unstructured data issue was addressed. The missing values were handled by this work along with scaling performance using the developed Kernelized Robust Scaler (KRS). Using the developed Random Over Sample-Based Density-Based Spatial Clustering Associated with Noise (ROS-DBSCAN), the imbalanced and overlapped data were handled, which was followed by the relevant feature selection of data utilizing the Sine Cosine-Based Artificial Jellyfish Search Optimization (SC-AJSO) technique. The data were split under the provision of Stratified K-Fold cross-validation along being trained in the proposed HT-RLSTM. The experimental analysis depicted that better accuracy was attained in detecting attacks by the proposed work for different datasets. When analogized with prevailing state-of-the-art methods, a low false detection rate, as well as computation time, was attained by the proposed scheme.
