Abstract
Techniques for assessing risks of IoT device. A system utilizing such techniques can include a packet analysis based IoT device risk assessment system and an IoT device risk assessment system. A method utilizing such techniques can include extraction of IoT device risk factors from a device profile of an IoT device and application of assessment weights to the IoT device risk factors to assess a risk level of an IoT device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- analyzing data packets transmitted to and from an IoT device in operation of the IoT device in accessing network services through a network;
- profiling the IoT device into an IoT device profile based on analysis of the data packets transmitted to and from the IoT device in operation of the IoT device in accessing the network services;
- extracting IoT device risk factors from the IoT device profile;
- selecting assessment weights specific to the IoT device risk factors and specific to the IoT device based on characteristics of the network to apply in assessing a risk level of the IoT device;
- applying the assessment weights to the IoT device risk factors according to specificity of the assessment weights to the IoT device risk factors to generate a risk score for the IoT device;
- assessing the risk level of the IoT device based on the risk score;
- preventing the IoT device from accessing the network services through the network based on the risk score.
