The Internet of Things (IoT)–based Wireless Sensor Network Intrusion Detection System (WSNIDS) is an essential security mechanism used to detect vulnerabilities and defend against malicious activities in sensor networks. The selection of an appropriate WSNIDS depends largely on the underlying IoT architecture and specific application requirements. Since no single solution is universally suitable, administrators must carefully analyze available options by considering system capabilities, cost, available information, and user preferences. This study proposes a selection framework based on a weighted evaluation of user requirements for IoT WSNIDS. Initially, user needs and relevant performance metrics are identified. Each requirement is then associated with one or more corresponding metrics. The requirements are ranked in order of importance, typically expressed in a positive manner, and assigned weights accordingly. The least important requirement is given the lowest weight, while more critical requirements receive proportionally higher values. Subsequently, each metric is assigned a cumulative weight derived from the requirements it supports. Finally, the metrics are ranked in descending order, enabling the identification of the most suitable WSNIDS solution based on alignment between system features and prioritized metrics.
