Banking Technologist Publishes Research on Preventing Cyberattacks

Venkata Naga Veera Sekhara Naidu Medida, a seasoned software engineer with expertise in banking systems and digital transformation, has published a significant piece of research titled “A Deep Learning-Based Intrusion Detection and Prevention System for Detecting and Preventing Denial-of-Service Attacks.” The paper appears in the peer-reviewed Dogo Rangsang Research Journal (ISSN: 2347-7180), known for underlining cutting-edge academic and industry-driven innovations.

Sekhara, who has spent the last five years supporting Citibank’s ASPAC Region through Flexcube Managed Services, brings his real-world experience in financial systems security to bear on this timely topic. His research addresses a growing concern in today’s digital banking landscape- how to accurately detect and prevent Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks using AI-driven technologies. His proposed solution applies deep learning algorithms to analyze network traffic and flag malicious patterns in real time. The system is designed to reduce false alarms and respond swiftly to potential attacks, helping financial institutions maintain service continuity and customer trust.

While machine learning (ML) has long been used for cybersecurity, it has critical limitations—such as the risk of misclassifying malicious packets or failing under high-volume traffic conditions. These issues can lead to corrupted learning models or delayed detection. To overcome these, Sekhar explores the application of deep learning (DL), a more advanced subfield of ML, which performs better with large-scale data and offers improved adaptability to evolving threats.

With growing digital adoption in financial services, Sekhara’s work emphasizes the importance of intelligent security frameworks that can adapt to evolving threats. His contribution offers practical insights for banks looking to strengthen their cyber defences using emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.
