Due to the expanding scope of Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things has become an important element of the information age. Cyber security relies heavily on intrusion detection systems for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In the face of complex network data and diverse intrusion methods, today’s network security environment requires more suitable machine learning methods to meet its security needs, and the current machine learning methods are hardly competent. In part because of network attacks by intruders using cutting-edge techniques and the constrained environment of IoT devices themselves, the most widely used algorithms in recent years include CNN and LSTM, with the former being particularly good at extracting features from the original data space and the latter concentrating more on temporal features of the data. We aim to address the issue of merging spatial and temporal variables in intrusion detection models by introducing a fusion model CNN and C-LSTM in this paper. Fusion features enhanced parallelism in the training process and better results without a very deep network, giving the model a shorter training time, fast convergence, and computational speed for emerging resource-limited network entities. This model is more suitable for anomaly detection tasks in the resource-constrained and time-sensitive big data environment of the Internet of Things. KDDCup-99, a publicly available IBD dataset, was applied in our experiments to demonstrate the model’s validity. In comparison to existing deep learning implementations, our proposed multiclass classification model delivers higher accuracy, precision, and recall.
