Edge computing has transformed technology by enabling seamless connections between IoT devices, but it also introduces significant security challenges. EC is crucial for providing minimal latency processing and reducing the load on centralized servers, ensuring timely and scalable intrusion detection for IoT environments. The findings underscore the potential of combining edge computing, IoT, and deep learning to address evolving security challenges in distributed systems. To mitigate these risks, efficient models for detecting malicious activities are crucial. This study investigates the application of edge computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and deep learning to improve the performance of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). By leveraging the UNSW-NB15 dataset, the research assesses the capability of deep learning models to identify and mitigate cyber threats effectively. The results demonstrate better performance, showing their suitability for real-time security applications. These findings highlight the potential of intelligent intrusion detection systems powered by robust datasets and deep learning for addressing evolving security threats in edge computing environments.
