In recent decades, the pervasive integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has revolutionized various sectors, including industry 4.0, telecommunications, cloud computing, and healthcare systems. Industry 4.0 applications, characterized by real-time data exchange, increased reliance on automation, and limited computational resources at the edge, have reshaped global business dynamics, aiming to innovate business models through enhanced automation technologies. However, ensuring security in these environments remains a critical challenge, with real-time data streams introducing vulnerabilities to zero-day attacks and limited resources at the edge demanding efficient intrusion detection solutions. This study addresses this pressing need by proposing a novel intrusion detection model (IDS) specifically designed for Industry 4.0 environments. The proposed IDS leverages a Random Forest classifier with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for feature selection. This approach addresses the challenges of real-time data processing and resource limitations while offering high accuracy. Based on the Bot-IoT dataset, the model achieves a competitive accuracy of 98.9% and a detection rate of 97.8%, outperforming conventional methods. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed IDS for securing Industry 4.0 ecosystems, offering valuable contributions to the field of cybersecurity.
