SE-Enhanced ViT and BiLSTM-Based Intrusion Detection for Secure IIoT and IoMT Environments

This study introduces a hybrid deep learning model for intrusion detection in Industrial IoT (IIoT) systems, combining ResNet-1D, BiGRU, and Multi-Head Attention (MHA) for effective spatial-temporal feature extraction and attention-based feature weighting. To address class imbalance, SMOTE was applied during training on the EdgeHoTset dataset. The model achieved 98.71% accuracy, a loss of 0.0417%, and low inference latency (0.0001 sec /instance), demonstrating strong real-time capability. To assess generalizability, the model was also tested on the CICIoV2024 dataset, where it reached 99.99% accuracy and F1-score, with a loss of 0.0028, 0 % FPR, and 0.00014 sec/instance inference time. Across all metrics and datasets, the proposed model outperformed existing methods, confirming its robustness and effectiveness for real-time IoT intrusion detection.

The rapid expansion of Industrial IoT (IIoT) systems has amplified security challenges, as heterogeneous devices and dynamic traffic patterns increase exposure to sophisticated and previously unseen cyberattacks. Traditional intrusion detection systems often struggle in such environments due to their reliance on extensive labeled data and limited ability to detect new threats. To address these challenges, we propose MI$^2$DAS, a multi-layer intrusion detection framework that integrates anomaly-based hierarchical traffic pooling, open-set recognition to distinguish between known and unknown attacks and incremental learning for adapting to novel attack types with minimal labeling. Experiments conducted on the Edge-IIoTset dataset demonstrate strong performance across all layers. In the first layer, GMM achieves superior normal-attack discrimination (accuracy = 0.953, TPR = 1.000). In open-set recognition, GMM attains a recall of 0.813 for known attacks, while LOF achieves 0.882 recall for unknown attacks. For fine-grained classification of known attacks, Random Forest achieves a macro-F1 of 0.941. Finally, the incremental learning module maintains robust performance when incorporation novel attack classes, achieving a macro-F1 of 0.8995. These results showcase MI$^2$DAS as an effective, scalable and adaptive framework for enhancing IIoT security against evolving threats.

With the rapid proliferation of IoT devices, security concerns have dramatically escalated and intrusion detection systems have become critical for protecting networked environments. This paper presents an improved CNN-LSTM based intrusion detection model that combines multi-class classification, dataset integration, and temporal feature learning to enhance detection performance in IoT networks. Using network traffic data, the proposed approach is evaluated on intrusion detection tasks and achieves an accuracy of approximately 97%. Experimental results demonstrate that the model effectively detects multiple attack categories while maintaining stable training and validation performance. The integration of convolutional and recurrent neural network components enables the framework to capture both spatial and temporal characteristics of network traffic, improving overall intrusion detection capability in IoT environments.
