Patent attributes
Provided are methods, including computer-implemented methods or methods implemented by a network device, devices including network devices, and computer-program products for providing dynamic security mechanisms for mixed networks. A mixed network can include an IoT type device and a non-IoT device. Using a configuration of the network, a deception device type can be determined. A second network that includes a deception mechanism corresponding to the deception device type can be determined. A network tunnel from the mixed network to the second network can be configured. The network tunnel enables the deception mechanism to be a node on the mixed network, such that the deception mechanism can be accessed from the mixed network. The deception mechanism can be used to monitor the mixed network for network abnormalities. An action can be taken when the deception mechanism detects an abnormality.
