Resumen

El crecimiento de dispositivos del Internet de las Cosas (IoT) en infraestructuras críticas ha ampliado la superficie de ataque frente a amenazas volumétricas. Las limitaciones de hardware en los nodos IoT impiden la ejecución de Sistemas de Detección de Intrusos (IDS) complejos, mientras que los métodos tradicionales fallan ante ataques novedosos. Este artículo presenta la evaluación experimental de un sistema de detección y mitigación de ciclo cerrado sustentado en una arquitectura híbrida desacoplada. Un agente en el Edge Gateway captura pasivamente el tráfico, agrega paquetes en flujos de 5 segundos y transmite metadatos por sockets TCP hacia un servidor analítico externo. Utilizando el algoritmo no supervisado Isolation Forest, validado sobre un dataset sintético de 1000 muestras que replica el comportamiento exacto de las variables de la red, el sistema alcanzó una precisión del 100% (F1-Score: 1.00). El tiempo de mitigación experimental promedio fue de 700.78 ms, manteniendo el consumo de CPU en el borde en un promedio de recuperación post-ataque del 40.45%. La propuesta demuestra como prototipo preliminar que la descarga analítica garantiza la autodefensa sin comprometer la operatividad IoT.
