Detecting and Mitigating IoT-Based Cyber Threats Through Machine Learning on Network Traffic Data
摘要
This research aims to improve cyber threat detection in IoT systems using advanced machine learning techniques. Existing methods struggle with the complex, high-dimensional nature of IoT traffic data. The proposed approach integrates Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), optimized with novel parameter tuning, to effectively identify and mitigate IoT-based cyber threats. Using the University of New Brunswick CIC IoT dataset, the model achieved 93.19% accuracy, outperforming traditional methods like KNN, SVM, and Random Forest. These results highlight the model's robustness and potential for enhancing real-time IoT threat detection, contributing to a more secure IoT ecosystem.
