A Sustainable W-RLG Model for Attack Detection in Healthcare IoT Systems

Abstract

The increasingly widespread use of IoT devices in healthcare systems has heightened the need for sustainable and efficient cybersecurity measures. In this paper, we introduce the W-RLG Model, a novel deep learning approach that combines Whale Optimization with Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) for attack detection in healthcare IoT systems. Leveraging the strengths of these algorithms, the W-RLG Model identifies potential cyber threats with remarkable accuracy, protecting the integrity and privacy of sensitive health data. This model’s precision, recall, and F1-score are unparalleled, being significantly better than those achieved using traditional machine learning methods, and its sustainable design addresses the growing concerns regarding computational resource efficiency, making it a pioneering solution for shielding digital health ecosystems from evolving cyber threats.
