Abstract: A threat detection model creation computer receives normal monitoring node values and abnormal monitoring node values. At least some received monitoring node values may be processed with a deep learning model to determine parameters of the deep learning model (e.g., a weight matrix and affine terms).

The decision boundary may also be obtained by combining feature vectors from multiple nodes. The decision boundary may then be used to detect normal and abnormal operation of an industrial asset.

The output of the stateful, nonlinear embedding may be utilized to automatically identify underlying system characteristics of the cyber-physical system. In some embodiments, a stateful generative adversarial network may be used to achieve stateful embedding.
