Smartification of public services is being promoted, but smart public services are at significant risk of cyberattacks. One of the most common cyberattacks is a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on unknown vulnerabilities. Recovery from DoS requires responses that may incur several hours or days of downtime. However, it is essential to enhance the resilience of smart public services by minimizing downtime. This study assumes a smart disaster prevention service using MQTT brokers and aims to enhance resilience against cyberattacks by applying immunity-based attack detection, as proposed by the authors to the MQTT brokers. Our previous work has shown that immunity-based attack detection could detect attacks on some vulnerabilities of the Mosquitto broker with high detection accuracy, but it could not correctly detect attacks on use-after-free vulnerabilities. In this paper, we propose a method for detecting cyberattacks, and demonstrate the effectiveness of the method through performance evaluation.
