This study aims to fortify Internet of Things (IoT) security through the strategic implementation of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). With the rapid expansion of IoT devices, traditional security measures have struggled to cope with the dynamic and complex nature of these environments. ANNs, known for their adaptability, are explored as a promising solution to enhance security. The central objective is to significantly improve the accuracy of IoT security measures by optimizing ANN architectures. Using a curated dataset with key environmental parameters, the study evaluates three ANN models—Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The evaluation metrics include accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score across different train-test splits. Results show that LSTM consistently outperforms BPNN and MLP, demonstrating superior accuracy and the ability to capture temporal dependencies within IoT security data. Implications stress the importance of aligning model selection with specific application goals, considering factors like computational efficiency. In conclusion, this research contributes valuable insights into the practical implementation of ANNs for IoT security, guiding future optimization efforts and addressing real-world deployment challenges to safeguard sensitive data and ensure system resilience in the evolving IoT landscape.
