Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems aggregate log data from heterogeneous sources to detect coordinated attacks. Traditional rule-based correlation engines struggle to classify multi-step web application attacks because they examine each event without reference to the behavioural history of the originating host. We present Smart-SIEM, an AI module for the open-source Wazuh SIEM platform with two contributions: (1) a per-source-IP behavioural context vector encoding HTTP response-status distributions, peak rule activation counts, and MITRE ATT&CK technique frequencies from the N most recent prior events; (2) a two-stage hybrid cascade combining LightGBM for binary attack detection and XGBoost for six-class attack categorisation. Evaluated on 46,454 purpose-built Wazuh security events, context features improve all tested gradient boosting algorithms from ~0.705 macro F1 to 0.947-0.967 (Stage 1) and 0.876-0.914 (Stage 2), an average gain of +0.254 and +0.324 respectively. The hybrid cascade achieves F1 of 0.967 (binary) and 0.914 (six-class). Wazuh's native rule engine detects 0% of Brute Force and Broken Authentication events; the AI module detects 100% and 98.3% respectively. A self-adaptive retraining mechanism recovers from concept drift: F1 drops from 0.905 to 0.465 when unseen attack types emerge, recovering to 0.814 after retraining on the combined corpus.
基于MITRE ATT&CK增强行为画像的开放源码SIEM系统上下文感知Web攻击检测 / Context-Aware Web Attack Detection in Open-Source SIEM Systems via MITRE ATT&CK-Enriched Behavioral Profiling
本文提出了一种名为Smart-SIEM的AI模块，通过为每个网络请求建立包含历史行为特征和攻击模式上下文的“行为画像”，并采用LightGBM和XGBoost两级混合模型，显著提升了开源Wazuh平台对复杂Web攻击的检测能力，尤其能发现传统规则引擎无法识别的暴力破解等攻击，同时具备自动适应新攻击类型的自我修复能力。
