Recurrent Neural Network based Incremental model for Intrusion Detection System in IoT

Abstract

The security of Internet of Things (IoT) networks has become a integral problem in view of the exponential growth of IoT devices. Intrusion detection and prevention is an approach ,used to identify, analyze, and block cyber threats to protect IoT from unauthorized access or attacks. This paper introduces an adaptive and incremental intrusion detection and prevention system based on RNNs, to the ever changing field of IoT security. IoT networks require advanced intrusion detection systems that can identify emerging threats because of their various and dynamic data sources. The complexity of IoT network data makes it difficult for traditional intrusion detection techniques to detect potential threats. Using the capabilities of RNNs, a model for creating and deploying an intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) is proposed in this paper. RNNs work particularly well for sequential data processing, which makes them an appropriate choice for IoT network traffic monitoring. NSL-KDD dataset is taken, pre-processed, features are extracted, and RNN-based model is built as a part of the proposed work. The experimental findings illustrate how effective the suggested approach is at identifying and blocking intrusions in Internet of Things networks. This paper not only demonstrates the effectiveness of RNNs in enhancing IoT network security but also opens avenues for further exploration in this burgeoning field. It presents a scalable, adaptive intrusion detection and prevention solution, responding to the evolving landscape of IoT security. As IoT networks continue to expand, the research enriches the discourse on developing resilient security strategies to combat emerging threats in scalable computing environments.
