Implementation of a Novel Fully Convolutional Network Approach to Detect and Classify Cyber-Attacks on IoT Devices in Smart Manufacturing Systems

Abstract

AbstractIn recent years, Internet of things (IoT) devices have been widely implemented and industrially improved in manufacturing settings to monitor, collect, analyze, and deliver data. Nevertheless, this evolution has increased the risk of cyberattacks, significantly. Consequently, developing effective intrusion detection systems based on deep learning algorithms has proven to become a dependable intelligence tool to protect Industrial IoT devices against cyber-attacks. In the current study, for the first time, two different classifications and detection long short-term memory (LSTM) architectures were fine-tuned and implemented to investigate cyber-security enhancement on a benchmark Industrial IoT dataset (BoT-IoT) which takes advantage of several deep learning algorithms. Furthermore, the combinations of LSTM with FCN and CNN demonstrated how these two models can be used to accurately detect cyber security threats. A detailed analysis of the performance of the proposed models is provided. Augmenting the LSTM with FCN achieves state-of-the-art performance in detecting cybersecurity threats.
