Résume (en anglais) :
This thesis presents a spectral and structural graph-based framework for detecting cyberattacks in dynamic and heterogeneous networks, with a focus on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Traditional machine learning models often fail to capture evolving or weak-signal attacks due to their static data assumptions. To address this limitation, the work introduces three key contributions: the Spectral Time-Windowing (SpectraTW) method, which defines new spectral indicators (Connectedness, Wiriness, Flooding, Asymmetry) for detecting low-signal and multi-class attacks; the BiFlowness metric, which leverages bipartite graph topology for early-stage attack detection; and the Graph Processing for Machine Learning (GPML) library, an open-source Python toolkit that unifies time-series, spectral metrics, and graph-based processing for reproducible cybersecurity analysis. Together, these contributions enhance the accuracy, interpretability, and scalability of attack detection across complex IoMT and cyber-physical systems.
