A network security entity recognition method based on feature template and CNN-BiLSTM-CRF

By network security threat intelligence analysis based on a security knowledge graph (SKG), multi-source threat intelligence data can be analyzed in a fine-grained manner. This has received extensive attention. It is difficult for traditional named entity recognition methods to identify mixed security entities in Chinese and English in the field of network security, and there are difficulties in accurately identifying network security entities because of insufficient features extracted. In this paper, we propose a novel FT-CNN-BiLSTM-CRF security entity recognition method based on a neural network CNN-BiLSTM-CRF model combined with a feature template (FT). The feature template is used to extract local context features, and a neural network model is used to automatically extract character features and text global features. Experimental results showed that our method can achieve an F-score of 86% on a large-scale network security dataset and outperforms other methods.
