Adaptive Multimodal Threat Detection Using Hybrid Graph Convolutional Transformers and Dynamic Harris Hawks Optimization
摘要
This paper proposes Cyber-Hawk, an adaptive multimodal threat detection system that detects cyber threats across heterogeneous data sources by means of graph-based representation learning coupled with dynamic optimization. For spatial-temporal features, the architecture uses a hybrid Graph Convolutional Transformer (HGCT), and a Refined Multi-Contrastive Learner (RMCL) with Transformer-based fusion to align semantic embeddings from modalities including network traffic, dark web content, and user behavior logs. Based on Harris Hawks Optimization and augmented with reinforcement learning and cyber-memory for dynamic parameter tuning, a new Cyber-Hawk Optimization (CHO) mechanism is presented to guarantee real-time deployment and adaptability. Experiments on integrated multimodal inputs show strong cross-fold resilience, high precision and 99.6% classification accuracy. Cyber-Hawk supports low-latency scenarios’ lightweight classifiers including XGBoost and Logistic Regression. Cyber-Hawk is a scalable, interpretable, real-time solution for intrusion detection outside conventional unimodal or rule-based systems since the results are validated by convergence analysis and macro-averaged performance metrics.
