To address class imbalance, SMOTE was applied during training on the EdgeHoTset dataset. The model achieved 98.71% accuracy, a loss of 0.0417%, and low inference latency (0.0001 sec /instance), demonstrating strong real-time capability. To assess generalizability, the model was also tested on the CICIoV2024 dataset, where it reached 99.99% accuracy and F1-score, with a loss of 0.0028, 0 % FPR, and 0.00014 sec/instance inference time. Across all metrics and datasets, the proposed model outperformed existing methods, confirming its robustness and effectiveness for real-time IoT intrusion detection.
