Abstract

This chapter explores the integration of deep learning architectures in cross-modality threat analysis within cybersecurity systems. As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, traditional methods of threat detection prove inadequate, necessitating the adoption of multimodal data analysis. By combining various data type such as behavioral patterns, network traffic, and biometric cross-modality analysis enhances the ability to detect and mitigate cyber threats with greater accuracy and efficiency. Deep learning techniques, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), play a pivotal role in processing and analyzing diverse data streams. This chapter addresses key applications, challenges, and ethical implications associated with cross-modality analysis, while highlighting its potential to revolutionize threat detection, fraud prevention, and anomaly detection. It also delves into the future prospects of cross-modality in cybersecurity, emphasizing the importance of balancing security with privacy.

Introduction

Cybersecurity has become one of the most critical aspects of modern technological infrastructure [1]. As digital systems evolve, so do the methods employed by cybercriminals, leading to increasingly sophisticated and dynamic threats [2]. Traditional cybersecurity approaches, which typically rely on single-source data such as network traffic or system logs, struggle to keep pace with the complexity of these modern threats [3-6]. In the face of rapid technological advancements, a shift towards cross-modality threat analysis has emerged as a necessary solution [7,8]. This approach combines multiple types of data from different sources, such as behavioral patterns, biometric data, and network interactions, to gain a more holistic understanding of potential threats [9]. The integration of various data modalities enables better identification of patterns, anomalies, and suspicious activities, offering more comprehensive insights compared to conventional analysis techniques [10].

Cross-modality analysis in cybersecurity refers to the process of integrating and analyzing diverse data source such as visual, audio, text, and behavioral data detect cyber threats [11]. Unlike traditional methods that focus on isolated data types, cross-modality analysis allows for the fusion of multiple data streams, each contributing unique insights into the detection of potential security risks [12,13]. For example, by combining network traffic data with user behavior analytics or biometric data, cybersecurity systems can identify subtle signs of malicious activities that not be apparent when analyzing a single type of data [14]. This approach enhances the accuracy and efficiency of threat detection, enabling cybersecurity professionals to address complex security challenges with a more data-driven and adaptive approach [15,16].
