Abstract


The rapid adoption of Voice over IP (VoIP) has brought cost-effective, scalable communication, but also introduce security concerns, especially in areas with legacy infrastructure. Traditional methods struggle with emerging threats like SIP flooding and toll fraud. This study introduces NetBot-AI, an AI-powered system for real-time threat detection and adaptive response in VoIP networks. Using hybrid datasets and advanced preprocessing techniques, it employs Deep Q-Networks, ML classifiers, and the Ekolama (Eₖ) loss function to boost accuracy. Evaluated on 10 million call records, it achieved 98% binary and 95% multi-class accuracy with minimal false positives, reducing downtime by 40%. Its modular design ensures easy integration. Results show NetBot-AI outperforms traditional tools, offering scalable, proactive security for diverse telecom environments.
