Abstract
The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the industrial
sector has given rise to a new term: the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
The IIoT is a collection of devices, apps, and services that connect physical and virtual worlds to create smart, cost-effective, and scalable systems.
Although the IIoT has been implemented and incorporated into a wide range
of industrial control systems, maintaining its security and privacy remains
a significant concern. In the IIoT contexts, an intrusion detection system
(IDS) can be an effective security solution for ensuring data confidentiality,
integrity, and availability. In this paper, we propose an intelligent intrusion
detection technique that uses principal components analysis (PCA) as a
feature engineering method to choose the most significant features, minimize
data dimensionality, and enhance detection performance. In the classification
phase, we use clustering algorithms such as K-medoids and K-means to
determine whether a given flow of IIoT traffic is normal or attack for binary
classification and identify the group of cyberattacks according to its specific
type for multi-class classification. To validate the effectiveness and robustness
of our proposed model, we validate the detection method on a new driven
IIoT dataset called X-IIoTID. The performance results showed our proposed
detection model obtained a higher accuracy rate of 99.79% and reduced error
rate of 0.21% when compared to existing techniques.
