A hybrid approach using support vector machine rule-based system: detecting cyber threats in internet of things.

While the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized several industries, it has also created severe data security concerns. The security of these network devices and the dependability of IoT networks depend on efficient threat detection. Device heterogeneity, computing resource constraints, and the ever-changing nature of cyber threats are a few of the obstacles that make detecting cyber threats in IoT systems difficult. Complex threats often go undetected by conventional security measures, requiring more sophisticated, adaptive detection methods. Therefore, this study presents the Hybrid approach based on the Support Vector Machines Rule-Based Detection (HSVMR-D) method for an all-encompassing approach to identifying cyber threats to the IoT. The HSVMR-D employs SVM to categorize known and unknown threats using attributes acquired from IoT data. Identifying known attack signatures and patterns using rule-based approaches improves detection efficiency without retraining by adapting pre-trained models to new IoT contexts. Moreover, protecting vital infrastructure and sensitive data, HSVMR-D provides a thorough and adaptable solution to improve the security posture of IoT deployments. Comprehensive experiment analysis and simulation results compared to the baseline study have confirmed the efficiency of the proposed HSVMR-D. Furthermore, increased resilience to completely novel changing threats, fewer false positives, and improved accuracy in threat detection are all outcomes that show the proposed work outperforms others. The HSVMR-D approach is helpful where the primary objective is a secure environment in the Internet of Things (IoT) when resources are limited. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
