A method for managing an Internet of Things device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for managing an Internet of Things device. The invention comprises the following steps: collecting data of an Internet of Things device from a plurality of data sources by an analysis layer of a network security system, and extracting a configuration analysis element baseline of the Internet of Things device from the collected data; retrieving a configuration analysis element baseline of the Internet of Things device from an analysis layer of the network security system by an execution layer of the network security system, or pushing the configurationanalysis element baseline of the Internet of Things device to an adaptation layer of the network security system; generating a security policy of the Internet of Things device through an execution layer of the network security system. Network traffic of the Internet of Things devices of the private network is controlled through an execution layer of the network security system to conform to the security policy.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the Internet of Things, in particular to a method for managing Internet of Things equipment. Background technique [0002] The Internet of Things is an object, not just a computer and a computer network. It can be read, identified, located, addressed, and controlled through a network such as a wireless network or the Internet. As IoT technology can improve business productivity and facilitate daily life, billions of IoT devices are being deployed and connected to private networks, public networks and the Internet. Generally, network security devices (such as firewalls) are deployed on the network to protect against external attacks or intrusions. Security devices can be driven by security policies defined based on users, services, device types, or combinations. However, as new types of IoT devices and services continue to be developed and deployed, security policies for IoT devices may become very co...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, as new types of IoT devices and services are continuously being developed and deployed, security policies for IoT devices can become very complex, making it difficult for network administrators to create appropriate network security policies for all IoT devices

Compromised IoT devices could be a backdoor to people or the corporate network if they are not properly secured on the corporate network
