Abstract
The exponential growth of network traffic and user data has hindered the efficacy and responsiveness of network intrusion detection systems. Intrusion systems are essential in e healthcare since they ensure the security, confidentiality, and accuracy of patients' medical information. Diagnosis and treatment mistakes may result from any alteration to the patient's real data. Traditional intrusion detection methods often fail to fully exploit the heterogeneous nature of multimedia healthcare data, which may include medical images, patient records, and network traffic metadata. Hence, this work proposes ViTfuse_GNN, a novel hybrid framework that integrates Vision Transformer (ViT)-based multimodal feature fusion with Graph Neural Networks (GNN) for robust intrusion detection. The proposed model first employs a Vision Transformer to fuse high level semantic features from medical images, videos, and textual metadata. Experimental evaluation on benchmark multimedia healthcare intrusion datasets demonstrates that ViTfuse_GNN outperforms state-of-the-art intrusion detection models with 99% accuracy, 98% precision, 99% recall, and 97% F1-score.
