Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attack Detection and Prevention in Educational Internet of Things (EIoT) Using a Hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Approach

The widespread adoption of electronic learning has made contemporary educational environments increasingly dependent on interconnected devices, enabling smart classrooms and remote monitoring systems. However, this technological advancement has also introduced substantial cybersecurity risks due to the vulnerabilities of unprotected, heterogeneous, and networked devices. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are among the most disruptive threats, as they can interrupt online classes, data
