IoT Sentinel: Automated Device-Type Identification for Security Enforcement in IoT

Understand

With the rapid growth of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), concerns about the security of IoT devices have become prominent.

• Several vendors are producing IP-connected devices for home and small office networks that often suffer from flawed security designs and implementations.
• They also tend to lack mechanisms for firmware updates or patches that can help eliminate security vulnerabilities.
• Securing networks where the presence of such vulnerable devices is given, requires a brownfield approach: applying necessary protection measures within the network so that potentially vulnerable devices can coexist without endangering the security of other devices in the same network.
