The Internet of Things (IoT) is being prominently used in smart cities and a wide range of applications in society. The benefits of IoT are evident, but cyber terrorism and security concerns inhibit many organizations and users from deploying it. Cyber-physical systems that are IoT-enabled might be difficult to secure since security solutions designed for general information/operational technology systems may not work as well in an environment. Thus, deep learning (DL) can assist as a powerful tool for building IoT-enabled cyber-physical systems with automatic anomaly detection. In this paper, two distinct DL models have been employed i.e., Deep Belief Network (DBN) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), considered hybrid classifiers, to create a framework for detecting attacks in IoT-enabled cyber-physical systems. However, DL models need to be trained in such a way that will increase their classification accuracy. Therefore, this paper also aims to present a new hybrid optimization algorithm called "Seagull Adapted Elephant Herding Optimization" (SAEHO) to tune the weights of the hybrid classifier. The "Hybrid Classifier + SAEHO" framework takes the feature extracted dataset as an input and classifies the network as either attack or benign. Using sensitivity, precision, accuracy, and specificity, two datasets were compared. In every performance metric, the proposed framework outperforms conventional methods.
