Aiming at the traditional methods based on data category tag that has high modeling cost and low efficiency in the network threat situation assessment, this paper proposes a network threat situation assessment model based on unsupervised learning for IoT. Firstly, we combine the encoder of variational autoencoder (VAE) and the discriminator of generative adversarial networks (GAN) to form the V-G network. Then, we obtain the reconstruction error of each layer network by training the network collection layer of the V-G network with normal network traffic. Besides, we conduct the reconstruction error learning by the 3-layer variational autoencoder of the output layer and calculate the abnormal threshold of the training. Moreover, we carry out the group threat testing with the test dataset containing abnormal network traffic and calculate the threat probability of each test group. Finally, we obtain the threat situation value (TSV) according to the threat probability and the threat impact. The simulation results show that, compared with the other methods, this proposed method can evaluate the overall situation of network security threat more intuitively and has a stronger characterization ability for network threats.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/6656066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,29]],"date-time":"2020-11-29T01:35:08Z","timestamp":1606613708000},"page":"1-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["An Unsupervised Learning-Based Network Threat Situation Assessment Model for Internet of Things"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6955-2503","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hongyu","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, Civil Aviation University of China, 300300 Tianjin, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2686-0386","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Renyun","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, Civil Aviation University of China, 300300 Tianjin, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8759-3379","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Fengyan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, Civil Aviation University of China, 300300 Tianjin, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guangquan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Intelligence and Computing, Tianjin University, 300350 Tianjin, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiyong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer and Communication Science, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jnca.2017.04.002"},{"issue":"9","key":"2","first-page":"2618","article-title":"On the performance degradation of cyber-physical systems under stealthy integrity attacks","volume":"64","author":"Y.
