devices. Leveraging the power of machine learning,
deep learning, and adaptive learning, the platform
offers a complete response to the complex security
issues facing the rapidly expanding IoT environment.
The explosive growth of the Internet of Things
(IoT) has created challenges for securing
interconnected devices and networks from the
growing number of cyber threats. This paper
introduces an AI-based IDS (Intrusion Detection
System) prototype for real-time monitoring in IoT
network environments to meet the security
requirements of IoT networks. The system makes use
of a hybid solution based on a combination of
machine learning and deep learning detection
mechanisms, and is effectively capable of identifying
new as well as known attacks with high detection rate
and low false positives. Moreover, the lightweight
nature of the system and its ability for real-time
processing make it appropriate to be implemented on
resource-constrained IoT devices with tight
constraints on computation and memory.
The evaluation of the proposed framework
indicates that this approach efficiently detects a
variety of attacks with a good true positive rate and at
a low latency, and using small amount of resources.
Its capacity to counter new and emerging threats
through adaptive leaning and periodic retraining
makes the system more resilient and sustainable in a
dynamic IoT world. In addition, the performance of
the system outperformed that of legacy IDS systems
in the aspects of accuracy, scalability, and real-time
operation, and hence is a potential remedy for the
protection of the IoT network structure.
However, there are also some limitations that we
find; in particular in terms of detecting advanced
persistent threats (APTs) and how to scale this system
to up to big IoT deployment. These are challenges to
be addressed by further optimization and refinement
of the system to make it useful in complex and large-
scale conditions. In the future we will aim to increase
detection for stealthy attack patterns and scalability
when dealing with large magnitudes of data and
traffic as in big IoT networks.
In summary, the proposed AI-oriented IDS can
provide a reliable, scalable and efficient solution to
improve the security of IoT networks. Through a
synthesis of cutting-edge machine learning and deep
learning strategies, the system not only solves current
security problems, but also lays a solid foundation
for the development of IoT security in the future. The
capacity of the framework to tradeoff detection
performance, time of execution and resources
consumption, turn it into a powerful tool to protect
the emerging profile of low cost IoT-devices, and to
guarantee the integrity and confidentiality of data
sharing throughout this kind of networks.
