Cloud computing provides scalable and adaptable infrastructure however is significantly susceptible to cyber-attacks. This work presents a hybrid methodology that integrates the GOA and GA for feature selection, alongside the Residual GraphSAGE model for intrusion detection. The hybrid GOA-GA method enhances feature selection by optimizing the balance between exploration and exploitation, mitigating overfitting, and augmenting classification performance. The Residual GraphSAGE model alleviates over smoothing while effectively capturing node and edge interactions for precise intrusion classification. Assessment on a benchmark dataset reveals exceptional performance, attaining an accuracy of 91.74%, surpassing established models such as GCN and ResNet. This study emphasizes the need of hybrid optimization and sophisticated graph-based learning in improving cloud infrastructure security.
