description Abstract This paper proposes an intelligent hybrid model that leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to enhance the security of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) by identifying and preventing cyberattacks. The study employs feature reduction techniques, including Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), along with the K-means clustering model enhanced information gain (KMC-IG) for feature extraction. The Synthetic Minority Excessively Technique is introduced for data balancing, followed by intrusion detection systems and network traffic categorization. The research evaluates a deep learning-based feed-forward neural network algorithm's accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure across three vital datasets: NSL-KDD, UNSW-NB 15, and CICIDS 2017, considering both full and reduced feature sets. Comparative analysis against benchmark machine learning approaches is also conducted. The proposed algorithm demonstrates exceptional performance, achieving high accuracy and reliability in intrusion detection for WSNs. The study outlines the system configuration and parameter settings, contributing to the advancement of WSN security.
