Attack Detection Mechanisms for Internet of Everything (IoE) Networks

Internet of Everything (IoE) is one of the superset concepts of Internet of Thing (IoT) based on emerging and revolutionary technologies and standards. The main building blocks of IoE are revolved around people, data, processes, and devices, which makes network connections more relevant, valuable, and for information sharing and providing services. The devices in these networks are connected by using short- and long-range communication standards. These connected ecosystems are heavily relying on embedded electronic devices such as sensors and actuators for data gathering and information dissemination. However, the increasing capacity of data in IoE networks, security, and attack risks is growing due to heterogeneous systems which become venerable to cyber threats and malware attacks. A number of solutions have been designed to prevent and detect the cyber-attacks in IoE networks. Therefore, it is critical to raise IoE security and implement suitable measures to safeguard against these attacks and threats. This chapter presents the fundamental concepts of existing attack detection mechanisms adopted at the edge and cloud-based networks to secure the IoE networks. This chapter also explores the backbone network threats especially edge and cloud computing or other service providers for IoE networks.
