Abstract
ABSTRACT Within Industry 4.0, the integration of Industrial IoT (IIoT) marks a transformative phase for modern industries, fostering the development of smart factories and intelligent manufacturing systems. Despite the substantial growth of IIoT, a critical research gap persists in web security within IIoT environments. This paper addresses this gap by proposing an explainable and robust machine learning-based web attack detection system to ensure IIoT web application security using ToN-IoT and NF-ToN-IoTv2 datasets that accurately reflects IIoT traffic. Given eXplainable Artificial Intelligence’s (XAI) capability to instill trustworthiness and transparency in learning models, the authors opted for the SHAP technique for feature selection, leveraging its global insights to explain feature contributions to the system’s decision-making. Compared to the existing works, the system demonstrated strong performance across various metrics, including accuracy, recall, precision, specificity, F-value, FPR, FNR, AUC-ROC curve, MCE, training, and prediction times, in binary and multi-classification scenarios.
