| contents | Machine-learning-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have achieved impressive accuracy in classifying network attacks, yet they consistently fall short on the question that matters most to a security analyst: what should I do next? This paper presents a unified, end-to-end framework that closes the gap between threat detection and actionable response. The system operates in two tightly coupled stages. First, an ensemble of three independently trained binary Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) classifies network traffic flows as Benign, Denial of Service (DoS), or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), achieving 99.84% accuracy on the CICIDS2018 dataset and 95.30% on the UNSW-NB15 dataset. Second, a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline constructs explanation-aware prompts from the top-5 anomalous features, retrieves the most semantically and lexically relevant guidance from a knowledge base derived from authorized sources and di- rects a locally deployed language model to synthesise structured, citation-grounded mitigation reports. The RAG-enhanced reports outperform vanilla LLM outputs across all automated evaluation metrics. |
