IIoT refers to the confluence of information technology and industrial processes, which might alter the industry. This convergence enables increased automation, data communication, and process optimization. However, this connection introduces additional security vulnerabilities and increases cyberattack risk. These consequences may affect the operational integrity and safety of many critical industrial processes. In this study, IIoT safety is thoroughly examined. The research covers all cyber dangers, from denial-of-service (DoS) and brute force to assaults. These models’ ability to identify and mitigate these risks’ detrimental effects is assessed using Random Forest, Decision Tree, and Gradient Boosting. Model efficacy is assessed using these models. We found that ecosystem protection for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) requires a multi-layered, dynamic security strategy that considers human factors, technology solutions, and regulatory compliance.
