  ABSTRACT: As IoT devices become more ubiquitous, the security of IoT-based networks becomes paramount. Machine Learning-based cybersecurity enables autonomous threat detection and prevention. However, one of the challenges of applying Machine Learning-based cybersecurity in IoT devices is feature selection as most IoT devices are resource-constrained. This paper studies two feature selection algorithms: Information Gain and PSO-based, to select a minimum number of attack features, and Decision Tree and SVM are utilized for performance comparison. The consistent use of the same metrics in feature selection and detection algorithms substantially enhances the classification accuracy compared to the non-consistent use in feature selection by Information Gain (entropy) and Tree detection algorithm by classification. Furthermore, the Tree with consistent feature selection is comparable to the ensemble that provides excellent performance at the cost of computation complexity.
