Abstract: In an era marked by the pervasive presence of Internet of Things (IoT) networks, it is critical to ensure the strong security of these autonomous systems. The integrity, confidentiality, and availability of IoT networks are threatened by new, complex security concerns that have arisen as a result of the rapid expansion of these networks. Vulnerabilities in the IoT are often exploited by the attacker to gain unauthorized access endangering privacy and security of the network. Identifying potential attack paths in the connected ecosystem is essential for implementing strong security measures. With attack modeling, security experts can evaluate the potential attack paths in the network. We propose a new framework for attack modeling in IoT networks by incorporating Explainable AI(XAI). The XAI algorithm LIME ( Local Interpretable Model Agnostic Explanations) has been included in the proposed framework to enhance the explanation and comprehension of the critical attack paths predicted. A use case is discussed and various graphs with explanations are provided to evaluate the performance of the attack model against the evolving dynamics of the IoT network. XAI provides a crucial layer of defense for protecting IoT networks from cyber hazards by offering interpretable insights into strong security decisions.
