Detection and Mitigation of IoT-Based Attacks Using SNMP and Moving Target Defense Techniques.

This paper proposes a solution for ensuring the security of IoT devices in the cloud environment by protecting against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and false data injection attacks. The proposed solution is based on the integration of simple network management protocol (SNMP), Kullback-Leibler distance (KLD), access control rules (ACL), and moving target defense (MTD) techniques. The SNMP and KLD techniques are used to detect DDoS and false data sharing attacks, while the ACL and MTD techniques are applied to mitigate these attacks by hardening the target and reducing the attack surface. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is validated through experimental simulations on the Amazon Web Service (AWS) platform, which shows a significant reduction in attack probabilities and delays. The integration of IoT and cloud technologies is a powerful combination that can deliver customized and critical solutions to major business vendors. However, ensuring the confidentiality and security of data among IoT devices, storage, and access to the cloud is crucial to maintaining trust among internet users. This paper demonstrates the importance of implementing robust security measures to protect IoT devices in the cloud environment and highlights the potential of the proposed solution in protecting against DDoS and false data injection attacks.
