A Hybrid Framework for Intrusion Detection in Healthcare Systems Using Deep Learning

Security Analysis for Smart Healthcare Systems

The healthcare industry went through reformation by integrating the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to enable data harnessing by transmission mediums from different devices, about patients to healthcare staff devices, for further analysis through cloud-based servers for proper diagnosis of patients, yielding efficient and accurate results. However, IoMT technology is accompanied by a set of drawbacks in terms of security risks and vulnerabilities, such as violating and exposing patients' sensitive and confidential data. Further, the network traffic data is prone to interception attacks caused by a wireless type of communication and alteration of data, which could cause unwanted outcomes. The advocated scheme provides insight into a robust Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for IoMT networks. It leverages a honeypot to divert attackers away from critical systems, reducing the attack surface. Additionally, the IDS employs an ensemble method combining Logistic Regression and K-Nearest Neighbor algorithms. This approach harnesses the strengths of both algorithms to improve attack detection accuracy and robustness. This work analyzes the impact, performance, accuracy, and precision outcomes of the used model on two IoMT-related datasets which contain multiple attack types such as Man-In-The-Middle (MITM), Data Injection, and Distributed Denial of Services (DDOS). The yielded results showed that the proposed ensemble method was effective in detecting intrusion attempts and classifying them as attacks or normal network traffic, with a high accuracy of 92.5% for the first dataset and 99.54% for the second dataset and a precision of 96.74% for the first dataset and 99.228% for the second dataset.

Enhancing Internet of Medical Things security with artificial intelligence: A comprehensive review

Over the past five years, interest in the literature regarding the security of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has increased. Due to the enhanced interconnectedness of IoMT devices, their susceptibility to cyber-attacks has proportionally escalated. Motivated by the promising potential of AI-related technologies to improve certain cybersecurity measures, we present a comprehensive review of this emerging field. In this review, we attempt to bridge the corresponding literature gap regarding modern cybersecurity technologies that deploy AI techniques to improve their performance and compensate for security and privacy vulnerabilities. In this direction, we have systematically gathered and classified the extensive research on this topic. Our findings highlight the fact that the integration of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques improves both the performance of cybersecurity measures and their speed, reliability, and effectiveness. This may be proven to be useful for improving the security and privacy of IoMT devices. Furthermore, by considering the numerous advantages of AI technologies as opposed to their core cybersecurity counterparts, including blockchain, anomaly detection, homomorphic encryption, differential privacy, federated learning, and so on, we provide a structured overview of the current scientific trends. We conclude with considerations for future research, emphasizing the promising potential of AI-driven cybersecurity in the IoMT landscape, especially in patient data protection and in data-driven healthcare.

Leveraging Computational Intelligence Techniques for Defensive Deception: A Review, Recent Advances, Open Problems and Future Directions

With information systems worldwide being attacked daily, analogies from traditional warfare are apt, and deception tactics have historically proven effective as both a strategy and a technique for Defense. Defensive Deception includes thinking like an attacker and determining the best strategy to counter common attack strategies. Defensive Deception tactics are beneficial at introducing uncertainty for adversaries, increasing their learning costs, and, as a result, lowering the likelihood of successful attacks. In cybersecurity, honeypots and honeytokens and camouflaging and moving target defense commonly employ Defensive Deception tactics. For a variety of purposes, deceptive and anti-deceptive technologies have been created. However, there is a critical need for a broad, comprehensive and quantitative framework that can help us deploy advanced deception technologies. Computational intelligence provides an appropriate set of tools for creating advanced deception frameworks. Computational intelligence comprises two significant families of artificial intelligence technologies: deep learning and machine learning. These strategies can be used in various situations in Defensive Deception technologies. This survey focuses on Defensive Deception tactics deployed using the help of deep learning and machine learning algorithms. Prior work has yielded insights, lessons, and limitations presented in this study. It culminates with a discussion about future directions, which helps address the important gaps in present Defensive Deception research.

A Systematic Review on Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models for Electronic Information Security in Mobile Networks

Today’s advancements in wireless communication technologies have resulted in a tremendous volume of data being generated. Most of our information is part of a widespread network that connects various devices across the globe. The capabilities of electronic devices are also increasing day by day, which leads to more generation and sharing of information. Similarly, as mobile network topologies become more diverse and complicated, the incidence of security breaches has increased. It has hampered the uptake of smart mobile apps and services, which has been accentuated by the large variety of platforms that provide data, storage, computation, and application services to end-users. It becomes necessary in such scenarios to protect data and check its use and misuse. According to the research, an artificial intelligence-based security model should assure the secrecy, integrity, and authenticity of the system, its equipment, and the protocols that control the network, independent of its generation, in order to deal with such a complicated network. The open difficulties that mobile networks still face, such as unauthorised network scanning, fraud links, and so on, have been thoroughly examined. Numerous ML and DL techniques that can be utilised to create a secure environment, as well as various cyber security threats, are discussed. We address the necessity to develop new approaches to provide high security of electronic data in mobile networks because the possibilities for increasing mobile network security are inexhaustible.
