Enhancing Cybersecurity in IoT Networks: A Deep Learning Approach to Anomaly Detection

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

With the proliferation of the Internet and smart devices, IoT technology has seen significant advancements and has become an integral component of smart homes, urban security, smart logistics, and other sectors. IoT facilitates real-time monitoring of critical production indicators, enabling businesses to detect potential quality issues, anticipate equipment malfunctions, and refine processes, thereby minimizing losses and reducing costs. Furthermore, IoT enhances real-time asset tracking, optimizing asset utilization and management. However, the expansion of IoT has also led to a rise in cybercrimes, with devices increasingly serving as vectors for malicious attacks. As the number of IoT devices grows, there is an urgent need for robust network security measures to counter these escalating threats. This paper introduces a deep learning model incorporating LSTM and attention mechanisms, a pivotal strategy in combating cybercrime in IoT networks. Our experiments, conducted on datasets including IoT-23, BoT-IoT, IoT network intrusion, MQTT, and MQTTset, demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms existing baselines.


How can AI and Machine Learning Contribute to Enhancing Cybersecurity?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is coupling with cybersecurity in order to create a new genre of tools known as threat analytics. Machine learning is allowing threat analytics to deliver greater precision in the areas of risk context, explicitly involving the behavior of privileged users, states a recent account in Forbes. This approach can be leveraged to develop notifications in real-time and respond actively to the incidents by cutting off sessions. FREMONT, CA: The general notion is that hackers have gone to the dark side to plan a massive attack on vulnerable businesses. Still, the truth is that the companies are not protecting their access credentials from easy hacks.
