Abstract

Formulation of the problem in general. Based on an examination of extant methodologies for detecting multi-profile zero-day threats under martial law conditions characterized by inadequate funding, infrastructure, and expertise, an innovative multi-tiered detection model is proposed. This model integrates preliminary filtering, behavioral analysis, and localized self-learning mechanisms to enhance responsiveness to cyber threats within resource-constrained environments. Research methods. A comprehensive set of theoretical and applied research methods was employed in the course of this study. The theoretical component included analysing and synthesising scientific literature, which enabled the systematisation of existing approaches to zero-day threat detection and identifying their strengths and limitations under resource-constrained conditions. A comparative analysis evaluated the effectiveness of conventional and advanced cyber defence methods based on key criteria such as resource dependence, operational autonomy, and detection accuracy. Among the applied methods, behavioural modelling was utilised to design the foundational structure of a system capable of identifying anomalous activity. To validate the proposed model, computer-based experimentation was conducted, assessing the performance of anomaly detection algorithms - specifically, the autoencoder and Isolation Forest - within a simulated, isolated environment.
