In this paper, we show a deep learning model for bot detection, named as DeBot, for industrial network traffic. DeBot uses a novel Cascade Forward Back Propagation Neural Network (CFBPNN) model with a subset of features using the Correlation-based Feature Selection (CFS) technique. A time series-based Nonlinear Auto-regressive Network with eXogenous inputs (NARX) technique analyzes the factors having a higher impact on the target variable and predict the behavioral pattern. To the best of our knowledge, we pioneer the use of optimal feature selection and integration with the cascading model of deep learning in bot detection of IIoTs. We conduct a thorough set of experiments on five popular bot datasets: NF-UNSW-NB15, NF-ToN-IoT, NF-BoT-IoT, NF-CSE-CIC-IDS2018, and ToN-IoT-Windows. We compare CFBPNN with other existing neural network models. We observe that CFBPNN in DeBot shows 100% accuracy in all the datasets with subset evaluation and obtains optimum F1-score and zero precision.@en

The increasing number of connected devices in the era of Internet of Thing (IoT) has also increased the number intrusions. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a secondary intelligent system to monitor, detect, and alert about malicious activities; an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is an extension of a detection system that triggers relevant action when an attack is suspected in a futuristic aspect. Both IDS and IPS systems are significant and useful for developing a security model. Several studies exist to review the detection and prevention models; however, the coherence in the opportunistic or advancements in the models is missing. Besides, the existing models also have some limitations, which need to be surveyed to develop new security models. Our survey is the first one to present a study of risk factor analysis using mapping technique, and provide a proposal for hybrid framework for an efficient security model for intrusion detection and/or prevention. We explore the importance of various Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based techniques, tools, and methods used for the detection and/or prevention systems in IoTs. More specifically, we emphasize on Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques for intrusion detection-prevention systems and provide a comparative analysis focusing on the feasibility, compatibility, challenges, and real-time issues. This present survey is beneficial for industry and academia to categorize the challenges and issues in the current security models and generate the new dimensions of developments of security frameworks with efficient ML or DL methods. @en

The heterogeneous nature of the Industrial Internet of Thing (IIoT) has a considerable impact on the development of an effective Intrusion Detection System (IDS). The proliferation of linked devices results in multiple inputs from industrial sensors. IDS faces challenges in analyzing the features of the traffic and identifying anonymous behavior. Due to the unavailability of a comprehensive feature mapping method, the present IDS solutions are non-usable to identify zero-day vulnerabilities. In this paper, we introduce the first comprehensive IDS framework that combines an efficient feature-mapping technique and cascading model to solve the above-mentioned problems. We call our proposed solution deeP learnIG model intrusioN detection in indUStrial internet-of things (PIGNUS). PIGNUS integrates Auto Encoders (AE) to select optimal features and Cascade Forward Back Propagation Neural Network (CFBPNN) for classification and attack detection. The cascading model uses interconnected links from the initial layer to the output layer and determines the normal and abnormal behavior patterns and produces a perfect classification. We execute a set of experiments on five popular IIoT datasets: gas pipeline, water storage tank, NSLKDD+, UNSW-NB15, and X-IIoTID. We compare PIGNUS to the state-of-the-art models in terms of accuracy, False Positive Ratio (FPR), precision, and recall. The results show that PIGNUS provides more than 95% accuracy, which is 25% better on average than the existing models. In the other parameters, PIGNUS shows 20% improved FPR, 10% better recall, and 10% better in precision. Overall, PIGNUS proves its efficiency as an IDS solution for IIoTs. Thus, PIGNUS is an efficient solution for IIoTs.@en
