A novel bi-anomaly-based intrusion detection system approach for industry 4.0

Today, industry 4.0 is becoming a major target for cybercriminals due to its hyper-connectivity. Fortunately, there are several advanced means of securing industrial systems such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). However, one of the main limitations of industrial IDS is the high rate of false positives and how to distinguish a real attack from an industrial failure. This paper deals precisely with the two latter points and proposes a way to reduce the rate of false positives and to distinguish attacks from industrial failures. The proposed approach combines two kinds of IDS using Neural Network (NN) through a Decision Making System (DMS). It was tested on a real industrial environment. The performance results are promising with a high percentage of accuracy and a low false positive rate.(c) 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
