Abstract

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are significant to main organizations like Smart Grids and water conduct and are gradually helpless to an extensive range of developing threats. Identifying threats to CPS is of greatest significance, owing to their progressive frequent usage in numerous critical assets. Traditional safety devices like firewalls and encryption are frequently insufficient for CPS designs; the execution of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) personalized for CPS is a crucial plan for safeguarding them. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have shown abundant probability in numerous areas of network security, mainly in network traffic observation and in the recognition of unauthorized access, misuse, or denial of network resources. IDS in CPSs and other fields namely the Internet of Things, is regularly considered through deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML). This manuscript offers the design of an Advanced Threat Detection utilizing the Lemurs Optimization Algorithm with Deep Learning (ATD-LOADL) methodology in the CPS platform. The primary of the ATD-LOADL methodology is to focus on the recognition and classification of cyber threats in CPS. In the preliminary phase, the pre-processing of the CPS data takes place using a min-max scaler. To select an optimum set of features, the ATD-LOADL technique uses LOA as a feature selection approach. For threat detection, the ATD-LOADL algorithm uses a multi-head attention-based long short-term memory (MHA-LSTM) classifier. At last, the detection results of the MHA-LSTM method are boosted by the use of the shuffled frog leap algorithm (SFLA). The experimentation outcomes of the ATD-LOADL approach can be widely investigated on a benchmark CPS dataset. An experimentation outcome stated the enhanced threat detection results of the ATD-LOADL technique over other existing approaches
