    Abstract

    In new technologies like fog computing, edge computing, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT), cybersecurity concerns and cyber-attacks have surged. The demand for better threat detection and prevention systems has increased due to the present global uptick in phishing and computer network attacks. In order to identify irregularities and attacks on the network, which have increased in scale and prevalence, threat identification is essential. However, the community is forced to investigate and create novel threat detection approaches that are capable of detecting threats using anomalies due to the increase in network threats, the growth of new methods of attack and computations, and the requirement to ensure security measures. A novel mechanism is employed to identify threats in a data based on optimized deep learning. The main aim of this paper is the usage of data classification system based on Deep Learning (DL). The proposed mechanism employed the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) communication protocol to extract data from loud IoT (Internet of Things) networks for the purpose of threat detection. To perform feature extraction an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is utilised, through Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), the attacks in data are classified and detected. Additionally, the suggested approach has been evaluated and trained using the BOUN DDoS contemporary dataset, which comprises a variety of attack types and allows for the effectiveness of the framework to be determined to compare it to previous approaches. The Findings indicate that the suggested approach achieved higher accuracy in DDoS attack identification in comparison with Traditional deep learning methods. The existing method detects the generic attack with lower efficiency however; the proposed mechanism achieves better accuracy in both the detection of the DDoS attack and the detection of regular traffic.
