The rapid expansion of AI-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) devices presents significant security challenges, impacting both privacy and organizational resources. The dynamic increase in big data generated by IoT devices poses a persistent problem, particularly in making decisions based on the continuously growing data. To address this challenge in a dynamic environment, this study introduces a specialized BERT-based Feed Forward Neural Network Framework (BEFNet) designed for IoT scenarios. In this evaluation, a novel framework with distinct modules is employed for a thorough analysis of 8 datasets, each representing a different type of malware. BEFSONet is optimized using the Spotted Hyena Optimizer (SO), highlighting its adaptability to diverse shapes of malware data. Thorough exploratory analyses and comparative evaluations underscore BEFSONet's exceptional performance metrics, achieving 97.99% accuracy, 97.96 Matthews Correlation Coefficient, 97% F1-Score, 98.37% Area under the ROC Curve(AUC-ROC), and 95.89 Cohen's Kappa. This research positions BEFSONet as a robust defense mechanism in the era of IoT security, offering an effective solution to evolving challenges in dynamic decision-making environments.
