Abstract

The development in software, hardware and communication technologies has made the broadcasting of sensory data collected from various devices very easy and simple. Interconnected devices through Internet technology form the Internet of Things (IoT). Applying intelligent methods for the analysis of this big data is the key which develops smart IoT applications. The world today has become increasingly dependent on digitized data which raises various security concerns and the need for advanced and reliable security technologies to deal with the increasing number of cyber-attacks. The work depicted in this paper makes use of machine learning techniques to detect cyber-attacks using the UNSW-NB15 data set and the KDD CUP 1999 dataset. Decision Tree, k- means clustering, multi-layer perception (MLP), Naive Byes and Random Forest classifier are the algorithms used in this work in order to find higher level information about the data.
