Security for IoT platform built on a wireless sensor network

A method implemented by a network node in a wireless sensor network (WSN) in an Internet-Of-Things (IoT) network of sending data traffic collected by client devices toward an Internet of Things (IoT) server over a backbone network, the method comprising:

• receiving IoT data traffic collected by one or more network nodes of the WSN;
• detecting anomaly traffic in the received IoT data traffic;
• and
• responsive to the detection of the anomaly traffic, forwarding the anomaly traffic towards the IoT server over a first network slice instance in the backbone network provisioned for the anomaly traffic.

A network node in a wireless sensor network (WSN) configured to route data traffic collected by client devices toward an Internet of Things (IoT) server over a backbone network, the network node comprising:

• communication circuitry enabling communication with other network nodes in the WSN;
• processing circuitry configured to:
• receive data traffic from client devices collected by one or more network nodes of the WSN;
• detect anomaly traffic in the received data traffic;
• responsive to the detection of the anomaly traffic, trigger a topology reconfiguration of the WSN to configure one or more predefined paths through the WSN from the source or sources of the anomaly traffic to the network node.
