Patent attributes
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.
