Cloud computing and Internet growth have simplified certain formerly difficult activities. This advancement has also revealed many security weaknesses. Due to cyberattacks, organizations need Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to protect their data and networks. Preprocessing, feature selection, and model training comprise the suggested strategy. Preprocessing includes data cleansing, standardization, and labeling. Information gain, chi-square, and PSO are used to choose features. CNN-XGBoost trains the model. The CNN-XGBoost model outperforms solo CNN and XGBoost with an average accuracy of 92.08%. This accuracy proves the hybrid method's cloud computing breach detection usefulness. The study underlines the importance of enhanced IDS models in cyber risk reduction. CNN's feature extraction and XGBoost's classification power provide a powerful, efficient, and reliable cloud intrusion detection model. Modern organizations benefit from this network security method.
