Abstract
The purpose of research: Detection of cybersecurity incidents and analysis of
decision support and assessment of the effectiveness of measures to counter
information security threats based on modern generative models. The methods of
research: Emulation of signal propagation data in MIMO systems, synthesis of
adversarial examples, execution of adversarial attacks on machine learning
models, fine tuning of large language models for detecting adversarial attacks,
explainability of decisions on detecting cybersecurity incidents based on the
prompts technique. Scientific novelty: A binary classification of data
poisoning attacks was performed using large language models, and the
possibility of using large language models for investigating cybersecurity
incidents in the latest generation wireless networks was investigated. The
result of research: Fine-tuning of large language models was performed on the
prepared data of the emulated wireless network segment. Six large language
models were compared for detecting adversarial attacks, and the capabilities of
explaining decisions made by a large language model were investigated. The
Gemma-7b model showed the best results according to the metrics Precision =
0.89, Recall = 0.89 and F1-Score = 0.89. Based on various explainability
prompts, the Gemma-7b model notes inconsistencies in the compromised data under
study, performs feature importance analysis and provides various
recommendations for mitigating the consequences of adversarial attacks. Large
language models integrated with binary classifiers of network threats have
significant potential for practical application in the field of cybersecurity
incident investigation, decision support and assessing the effectiveness of
measures to counter information security threats.
