IoT is the network which connects and communicates with billions of devices through the internet and due to the massive use of IoT devices, the shared data between the devices or over the network is not confidential because of increasing growth of cyberattacks. The network traffic via loT systems is growing widely and introducing new cybersecurity challenges since these loT devices are connected to sensors that are directly connected to large-scale cloud servers. In order to reduce these cyberattacks, the developers need to raise new techniques for detecting infected loT devices. In this work, to control over this cyberattacks, the fog layer is introduced, to maintain the security of data on a cloud. Also the working of fog layer and different anomaly detection techniques to prevent the cyberattacks has been studied. The proposed AD-IoT can significantly detect malicious behavior using anomalies based on machine learning classification before distributing on a cloud layer. This work discusses the role of machine learning techniques for identifying the type of Cyberattacks. There are two ML techniques i.e. RF and MLP evaluated on the USNW-NB15 dataset. The accuracy and false alarm rate of the techniques are assessed, and the results revealed the superiority of the RF compared with MLP. The Accuracy measures by classifiers are 98 and 53 of RF and MLP respectively, which shows a huge difference and prove the RF as most efficient algorithm with binary classification as well as multi- classification.
