US Patent 11665194 Automatic retraining of machine learning models to detect DDoS attacks

In one embodiment, a device in a network receives an attack mitigation request regarding traffic in the network. The device causes an assessment of the traffic, in response to the attack mitigation request. The device determines that an attack detector associated with the attack mitigation request incorrectly assessed the traffic, based on the assessment of the traffic. The device causes an update to an attack detection model of the attack detector, in response to determining that the attack detector incorrectly assessed the traffic.
