Secure tunnel proxy with software-defined perimeter for network data transfer

A computer program product for a secure tunnel proxy with software-defined perimeter for network data transfer, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code causing an apparatus to:

• receive sensor configuration information associated with an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor;
• receive information associated with an edge computing device configured to receive sensor data from the IoT sensor;
• configure a secure tunnel proxy between the IoT sensor and the edge computing device based on at least the sensor configuration information and the information associated with the edge computing device, wherein configuring further comprises:
• assigning a first network port to the edge computing device;
• assigning a second network port to the IoT sensor;
• and
• configuring the secure tunnel between the IoT sensor and the edge computing device using the first network port and the second network port;
• deploy the secure tunnel proxy between the IoT sensor and the edge computing device;
• and
• channel sensor data from the IoT sensor to the edge computing device via the secure tunnel proxy.
