  Abstract


This paper presents a comparative analysis of three Artificial Intelligence (AI) based models -- Random Forest, XG Boost, and a Hybrid Ensemble Model (Random Forest + XG Boost) -- for detecting network threats. The NSL-KDD dataset was used to train and evaluate the models. The study aims to improve the accuracy, precision, and reliability of intrusion detection systems by combining ensemble learning methods. Each model was tested under the same preprocessing and training conditions, and performance metrics such as Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1-score were analyzed. Results showed that the Hybrid Ensemble model achieved the best performance with an accuracy of 99.45%, proving that combining Random Forest and XG Boost enhances overall detection capability and reduces false alarms.
