Cyber-attacks can seriously affect the security of computers and network systems. Thus, developing an efficient anomaly detection mechanism is crucial for information protection and cyber security. To accurately detect TCP SYN flood attacks, two statistical schemes based on the continuous ranked probability score (CRPS) metric have been designed in this paper. Specifically, by integrating the CRPS measure with two conventional charts, Shewhart and the exponentially weighted moving average
