Intrusion Detection in IoT Networks Using Machine Learning Techniques

Abstract

The advent of the IoT has undeniably transformed the manner in which we connect with the world innovative solutions across a multitude of sectors. However, the proliferation of IoT applications has brought to the fore a complex and multifaceted problem that warrants immediate attention: the security and energy efficiency challenges within IoT networks. As the number of IoT devices continues to surge and their applications diversify, the demand for ubiquitous and secure data access has never been greater. These applications, ranging from healthcare monitoring to industrial automation, require not only real-time data processing but also the assurance of data security and privacy. So, the research explores the machine learning techniques application for intrusion detection in IoT networks, aiming to enhance security in the rapidly evolving landscape of interconnected devices. The research emphasizes the significance of proactive measures in safeguarding IoT ecosystems and highlights the potential of machine learning to detect and mitigate intrusions effectively. In this research, a model was developed for detecting anomalies in Internet of Things networks using artificial neural networks. The research aims to develop and evaluate an effective intrusion detection model for IoT networks by leveraging machine learning techniques. The purpose is to enhance the security posture of interconnected devices, addressing the unique challenges posed by the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of IoT environments. The study tries to contribute important experiences and functional answers to reinforce the strength of IoT networks against developing digital dangers.
