Abstract Recent advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) have paved the way for intelligent and sustainable solutions in smart city environments. However, despite these advantages, IoT-connected devices present significant privacy and security risks, as network attacks increasingly exploit user-centric information. To protect the network against the rapidly growing number of cyber-attacks, it is essential to employ a cognitive intrusion detection system (CIDS) capable of handling complex and voluminous network data. This research presents a novel ensemble deep learning framework designed to enhance cybersecurity in IoT-based smart city ecosystems. The proposed architecture integrates Self-Attention Convolutional Neural Networks, Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units, and Shark Smell Optimized Feed Forward Networks to create a robust, adaptive system for detecting and mitigating cyber threats. By leveraging fog computing, the model significantly reduces latency and computational overhead, making it highly suitable for large-scale IoT deployments. Extensive experimentation using the ToN-IoT dataset demonstrates the framework's exceptional performance, achieving a 99.78% detection rate across various attack types and an AUC of 0.989. The proposed model outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches, achieving a mean fitness function value of 0.85640 and a standard deviation of 0.037630 in binary classification outcomes. In multi-class classification, the model maintains a mean fitness function value of 0.8230 and a variance of 2.28930 x 104, significantly outperforming other meta-heuristic algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The model exhibits superior accuracy and efficiency compared to existing state-of-the-art approaches, particularly in identifying complex and emerging threats. This research makes significant contributions by introducing innovative feature extraction techniques, optimizing model performance for resource-constrained environments, and providing a scalable solution for securing smart city infrastructure. The findings highlight the potential of ensemble deep learning approaches to fortify IoT networks against cyberattacks, paving the way for more resilient and secure smart cities.
