Conventional intrusion detection systems face significant challenges from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, especially those capable of polymorphism or blending into legitimate network traffic. This paper introduces Quantum AIO-ChameleonGAN, a novel cybersecurity framework that integrates quantum computing, chameleon-inspired adaptive perception, and the AIO(Angle of Incidence Optimization) strategy. The framework is designed to identify stealthy and polymorphic anomalies that evade detection by traditional systems. A quantum-enhanced generator creates evolving and camouflaged threats by using quantum superposition and entanglement to represent high-dimensional data. Simultaneously, a quantum discriminator with embedded AIO logic adjusts its detection response to anomaly characterization and anomaly response severity anchoring its detection “gaze” to the detection response. This architecture adaptivity enables real-time detection of nuanced shifts in network behavior with contextual precision. The methodology is based on training the GAN( Generative Adversarial Network) using unlabeled cyber traffic datasets, implementing quantum circuits in Qiskit, and assessing the framework on detection gap, sensitivity to previously flagged anomalies, and the frequency of false negatives. Early simulation results demonstrate significant improvement in detecting both static and dynamic stealthy polymorphic cyber threats.
