The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has changed human interactions with the environment. IoT networks require specialized defense strategies distinct from traditional corporate contexts. Security measures such as anti-malware software, firewalls, authentication protocols, and encryption techniques are established but face limitations against evolving attack strategies. Therefore, this study proposes an intrusion detection approach for a realistic IoT environment, employing various variants of deep learning models such as deep neural networks (DNNs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and recurrent neural networks (RNNs). The research tested three variants for each model: DNN1, DNN2, DNN3, CNN1, CNN2, CNN3, RNN1, RNN2, RNN3. All these variants are customized and tuned differently to analyze the efficacy of the suggested methodology. Likewise, notable observation highlights the significance of aligning training and validation accuracy curves that indicate controlled overfitting, validating the model's reliability in accurately predicting intrusion and benign network traffic in IoT settings. Results reveal that RNN1 achieves the best results: accuracy of 98.61%, precision of 98.55%, recall of 98.61%, and F1-score of 98.57% compared with other DNN and CNN architectures and benchmark papers. This study advances intrusion detection within IoT networks through a comprehensive evaluation of deep learning models and inspires ongoing research to enhance intrusion detection systems' resilience in dynamic IoT environments.

With rapid development and deployment of artificial intelligence methods, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has highly developed to fast tracing industrial communications and optimizing manufacturing processes. In Industry 5.0, hyper-automation process as one of technological trends navigates industrial entities to intelligent devices of the IIoT, cloud computing, smart robotics, smart agile software and embedded components by high complexity and reliability. By increasing data communication in the IIoT environments and cloud computing, the security and safety of hyper-automation process is also increasingly unstable and challengeable with respect to cyber-attacks, unstructured malwares and abnormal activities. With the diversification and unexpected behaviors of cyber-security threats, traditional cyber-attack detection systems have some critical problems with increasing massive data including unappropriated feature selection and extraction, high computation time in prediction and inaccurate classification models. Due to the above-mentioned challenges, this paper presents a new cloud-based cyber-attack detection architecture based on Ensemble Bagged Trees Detection (EBTD) algorithm for predicting malicious behaviors and types of cyber-attacks for hyper-automation process in the IIoT. The proposed architecture uses Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and a priority-based feature selection and extraction model to find the optimal features with highly dependent on the network traffic, computation time, malicious behaviors, and types of attacks. Then, experimental results are conducted using the technical data sets UNSW-NB15 and NSL-KDD. The simulation results show that the proposed architecture performance performs better than other case studies and prediction models and effective on optimization of large-scale cyber-attack detection systems for critical hyper-automation process in the IIoT environment.

In this paper, a distributed solution is presented for the composition of complex event services in the Internet of Things (IoT) environments. The composition of objects services in the IoT environment requires scalable and adaptable methods due to the dynamics of the network. The dynamics accommodate both the large volume of objects and the tolerance of object displacement and link failure. The composition of complex event services is more scalable and reusable. The composition of these services is done in several steps. First, the user's goals are transformed into an event schema through a backward-chaining mechanism. Then, the event schema is matched with complex event services in the fog layer. Finally, this event schema is used to access the required services. Besides, heuristic functions are also provided to control network traffic, increase execution consistency, and reduce service failure rates. An extensive evaluation of various metrics has been done. The results show that the proposed solution is scalable and adaptable in a hierarchical IoT network with mobile objects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
