Distributed deep learning approach for intrusion detection system in industrial control systems based on big data technique and transfer learning

ABSTRACT Industry 4.0 refers to a new generation of connected and intelligent factories that is driven by the emergence of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, Cloud computing, Big Data and industrial control systems (ICS) in order to automate all phases of industrial operations. The presence of connected systems in industrial environments poses a considerable security challenge, moreover with the huge amount of data generated daily, there are complex attacks that occur in seconds and target production lines and their integrity. But, until now, factories do not have all the necessary tools to protect themselves, they mainly use traditional protection. In order to improve industrial control systems in terms of efficiency and response time, the present paper propose a new distributed intrusion detection approach using artificial intelligence methods, Big Data techniques and deployed in a cloud environment. A variety of Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms, basically convolutional neural networks (CNN), have been tested to compare performance and choose the most suitable model for the classification. We test the performance of our model by using the industrial dataset SWat.
