PG Scholar, Department of CSE, Mahendra Engineering College, India Himagiri Chandra Guntupalli A key difficulty in the ever-changing cybersecurity scene is the detection of sophisticated cyber-attacks. Because new threats are so much more sophisticated and difficult to detect, traditional tactics typically fail. A new technique to improving cyber-attack detection skills is explored in this study. It uses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Using GANs' realistic data generation capabilities, possible attack paths are simulated, creating a strong dataset for training detection systems. At the same time, natural language processing (NLP) methods are used to decipher the mountain of textual information produced by cyberspace, including incident reports, communication patterns, and logs.  Our approach is based on building a fake dataset using GANs that mimics the features of advanced cyberattacks. A detection model is then trained using this dataset. Simultaneously, we improve the detection model's capacity to spot intricate and nuanced assault patterns by processing and analysing text-based data using natural language processing approaches. We use a benchmark cybersecurity dataset to test the integrated method. The experimental findings show that our GAN-NLP based detection system outperforms existing systems, which have an average accuracy of 85.3%, by a wide margin. It achieves a recall of 93.2%, precision of 92.5%, and accuracy of 94.7%. These findings prove that GANs and NLP work well together to identify complex cyberattacks. Finally, GANs and NLP together provide a potent instrument for better cyber-attack detection. A scalable solution that can adapt to the ever-changing nature of cyber threats is offered by this integrated approach, which also increases detection accuracy and efficiency. Improving the models and investigating their use in a real-world cybersecurity setting will be the primary goals of future research. 2024 2024 161 172 10.54216/JCIM.140211 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/2/show/3015
