FlexLog: Effective Anomaly Detection in Unstable Logs

FlexLog: Effective Anomaly Detection in Unstable Logs

Combining Large Language Models with ML for Data-Efficient Cybersecurity

FlexLog introduces a novel hybrid approach that leverages both LLMs and traditional ML to detect anomalies in unstable log data with minimal training requirements.

  • Addresses the real-world challenge of unstable logs that change due to software updates or environmental shifts
  • Achieves superior detection accuracy while requiring significantly less training data
  • Combines the strengths of decision trees, k-nearest neighbors, and LLMs in an innovative hybrid architecture
  • Demonstrates practical security applications for identifying potential breaches and system vulnerabilities

This approach represents a meaningful advance for security operations teams who need to maintain effective anomaly detection despite constantly evolving log formats and structures.
