NEW DISTRIBUTED ARCHITECTURE BASED ON MULTI AGENT SYSTEMS FOR THE CYBERSECURITY OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS

The Internet of Things has become one of the technologies that receives great attention from researchers due to its significant impact in various fields. To secure the Internet of Things, many presented research works attempted to propose effective and suitable solutions addressing the features and characteristics of this technology. Despite all the proposed solutions, centralization remains one of the problems that affect the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of these solutions. Distribution can provide faster and more accurate solutions and avoid complete system downtime if a system’s node encounters a problem. This is our goal in this research work. In this scientific paper, a distributed architecture based on multi-agent systems has been proposed for the cybersecurity of the Internet of Things. Our architecture presents itself as an exhaustive solution as it ensures three main tasks: proactive monitoring, anomaly detection, and swift response to emerging threats.
