Fusion: Practice and Applications FPA 2692-4048 2770-0070 10.54216/FPA https://www.americaspg.com/journals/show/3527 2018 2018 AlertFusion-OptiNet: An Advanced SIEM Alert Management System for IoT Environments using CMRO and AlertQ-Net Department of Information Technology, College of Computer and Information Sciences, Majmaah University, Al-Majmaah 11952, Saudi Arabia admin admin SIEM, which stands for Security Information and Event Management, is a collection of services and solutions that give businesses the capacity to gather, examine, and handle security-related data in real time from all areas of their IT infrastructure. This study presents AlertFusion-OptiNet, a sophisticated SIEM alert management architecture intended for effective alert handling and intrusion detection. The proposed CMRO algorithm (a hybrid of Coot Bird Optimization and Mug Ring Algorithm) is used to select the best features after the system integrates data from multiple sources (raw logs, network traffic, and security alerts), applies preprocessing to eliminate redundancy and inconsistencies, and extracts features using techniques like LDA, GloVe, statistical analysis, and DWT. PCA is then used to reduce dimensionality. The shortcomings of current intrusion detection systems include delayed alert replies, poor feature selection, and ineffective management of heterogeneous datasets. Two-channel CNNs, LSTM, and Bi-RNNs are used in AlertFusion-OptiNet's hybrid detection model to improve accuracy and real-time detection, while AlertQ-Net uses reinforcement learning to handle and monitor alerts continuously. The proposed AlertFusion-OptiNet accomplished 99.43% and outruns SOTA models. 2025 2025 01 23 10.54216/FPA.180201 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/3/show/3527
