Abstract
The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has increased the vulnerability of networks to security threats, making anomaly detection essential for maintaining system integrity. Traditional security measures often fall short in identifying and mitigating complex attack patterns that can jeopardize IoT networks. This research aims to develop a machine learning algorithm specifically designed for anomaly detection in IoT environments. The goal is to enhance the ability to identify unusual behavior indicative of potential security breaches while minimizing false positives. A dataset comprising network traffic from various IoT devices was collected and preprocessed to extract relevant features. Several machine learning algorithms, including decision trees, support vector machines, and neural networks, were implemented and evaluated. Performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score were used to assess the effectiveness of each model. The results indicated that the proposed machine learning algorithm outperformed traditional methods, achieving an accuracy of 95% in detecting anomalies. The model demonstrated a significant reduction in false positives compared to existing techniques, thereby enhancing the reliability of anomaly detection in IoT networks. The research concludes that the developed machine learning algorithm is a robust solution for detecting anomalies in IoT environments. This advancement contributes to the field by providing an effective tool for improving security measures in the rapidly evolving landscape of IoT. Future work should focus on real-time implementation and further optimization of the algorithm to adapt to dynamic network conditions.
