MalIoT: Scalable and Real-time Malware Traffic Detection for IoT Networks

Abstract: The machine learning approach is vital in Internet of Things (IoT) malware traffic detection due to its ability to keep pace with the ever-evolving nature of malware. Machine learning algorithms can quickly and accurately analyze the vast amount of data produced by IoT devices, allowing for the real-time identification of malicious network traffic. The system can handle the exponential growth of IoT devices thanks to the usage of distributed systems like Apache Kafka and Apache Spark, and Intel's oneAPI software stack accelerates model inference speed, making it a useful tool for real-time malware traffic detection. These technologies work together to create a system that can give scalable performance and high accuracy, making it a crucial tool for defending against cyber threats in smart communities and medical institutions.
