Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are increasingly deployed in mission-critical environments but remain highly vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) and unauthorized access attacks due to constrained computational resources. This study proposes a security-enhanced WSN architecture integrated with the ServiceNow cloud platform to provide centralized monitoring, automated incident management, and secure data orchestration. A simulation-based experimental evaluation was conducted using 100 IEEE 802.15.4 sensor nodes under DoS attack scenarios. Results demonstrate that the proposed approach reduces average latency by 18%, improves packet delivery ratio by 12%, and enhances DoS detection rate to 94% compared to traditional standalone WSN security mechanisms. The integration leverages TLS-secured communication and lightweight AES-128 encryption to balance security and energy efficiency. The findings validate that cloud-driven orchestration significantly improves WSN resilience without imposing excessive overhead on sensor nodes
