INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM FOR IOT

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative technology, interconnecting numerous devices and enabling seamless data exchange for various applications. This interconnectedness has revolutionized industries, enhancing efficiency and convenience for users. However, the proliferation of IoT devices has also introduced unprecedented security challenges, posing significant risks to data integrity, user privacy, and system reliability. This study highlights the importance of security in IoT deployments and the imperative need for effective protective mechanisms. With the increasing number of IoT devices connected to networks, traditional security measures are insufficient to thwart sophisticated cyber threats. Hence, robust security strategies must be integrated into IoT architectures from the outset to safeguard against potential vulnerabilities. One such critical security tool that plays a pivotal role in fortifying IoT networks is Intrusion Detection System (IDS). By continuously monitoring network activities, IDS identifies and responds to suspicious or malicious behavior, enabling early detection of potential threats. This proactive approach empowers IoT administrators to thwart attacks in real time, mitigating the extent of damage caused by cyber intrusions. The integration of an efficient IDS within IoT networks not only bolsters cyber security but also helps maintain data integrity and ensures uninterrupted operations. This study examines the significance of security in IoT and delves into the pivotal role of IDS as a formidable defense mechanism to protect IoT networks from evolving cyber threats.
