The backbone of the economy, security and sustainability of a state is inseparably linked to the security of its critical infrastructure. Critical infrastructures define goods, systems or subsystems that are essential to maintain the vital functions of society, health, physical protection, security plus economic and social well-being of citizens. The digital security of critical infrastructures is a very important priority for the well-being of every country, especially nowadays, because of the direct threats dictated by the current international conjuncture and due to the emerging interactions or interconnections developed between the National Critical Infrastructures, internationally. The aim of this research is the development and testing of an Anomaly Detection intelligent algorithm that has the advantage to run very fast with a small portion of the available data and to perform equally well with the existing approaches. Such a system must be characterized by high efficiency and very fast execution. Thus, we present the Gryphon advanced intelligence system. Gryphon is a Semi- Supervised Unary Anomaly Detection System for big industrial data which is employing an evolving Spiking Neural Network (eSNN) One - Class Classifier (eSNN-OCC). This machine learning algorithm corresponds to a model capable of detecting very fast and efficiently, divergent behaviors and abnormalities associated with cyberattacks, which are known as Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). The training process is performed on data related to the normal function of a critical infrastructure.
