  • Patent number: 11757836
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for managing IoT devices by a security fabric. A method is provided for managing IoT devices comprises collecting, by analyzing tier, data of Internet of Things (IoT) devices from a plurality of data sources, abstracting, by analyzing tier, profiled element baselines (PEBs) of IoT devices from the data, wherein each PEB includes characteristics of IoT devices; retrieving, by executing tier, the PEBs from the analyzing tier, wherein the executing tier is configured to control network traffic of IoT devices of a private network; generating, by the executing tier, security policies for IoT devices from PEBs of the IoT devices; and controlling, by the executing tier, network traffic of the IoT devices of the private network to comply with the security policies.

  • Patent number: 11057346
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for managing IoT devices by a security fabric. According to one embodiment, an analyzing tier collects data of Internet of Things (IoT) devices from a plurality of data sources and abstracts profiled element baselines (PEBs) of IoT devices of the same type from the data. An executing tier retrieves the PEBs from the analyzing tier and generates security policies for IoT devices of the same type from PEBs. The executing tier controls network traffic of the IoT devices of the private network to comply with the security policies.
