Neuro-Bayesian-Symbolic Residual Attention Shallow Network: Explainable Deep Learning for Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
We introduce the Neuro-Bayesian-Symbolic Residual Attention Shallow Network (NBS-RASN), a hybrid neural architecture for explainable cybersecurity risk assessment in open-source ecosystems. Unlike deep models that trade interpretability for accuracy, our shallow network encodes domain knowledge, causal reasoning, and expert judgment as differentiable components. It uses 80 interpretable neurons across 12 layers, including a gatekeeper that enforces five epistemological axioms - precision, causality, falsifiability, transparency, and completeness - as hard constraints before propagation. Despite limited depth, the network exhibits deep-learning traits via residual attention and feedback loops, learning complex risk patterns without becoming a black box. It produces fully decomposable scores: a deterministic weighted component plus an expert adjustment, with each adjustment traceable to named amplifiers (blast radius, propagation speed, structural nature, default exposure, exploitation pattern, institutional criticality). We validate on 20 open-source projects covering all OWASP Top 10:2025 categories and language risk classes, achieving confidence scores of 0.79-0.97, and show that explainability is guaranteed by design, not by a training algorithm. This challenges the assumption that deep learning requires deep networks, proving that shallow networks with deep reasoning can outperform opaque models in high-stakes cybersecurity, where interpretability is essential.
