Abstract
Management of IoT devices through a private cloud. An IoT device is coupled to a gateway. A request from the IoT device to connect to a private cloud, wherein the private cloud is used to manage IoT devices, is received at a private cloud control center agent. An identification of the IoT device is determined. The IoT device is onboarded, using the identification, for management through the private cloud. A device profile of the IoT device is generated. The flow of data to and from the IoT device is regulated through application of IoT rules of an IoT firewall according to the device profile of the IoT device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- monitoring, by a private cloud control center agent that is provided between a public network and a private cloud, data transmission to or from an IoT device that is carried out through the private cloud in accordance with an IoT rule for an IoT firewall that is applied in the data transmission of the IoT device, the IoT device being connected for management thereof by the private cloud control center agent through the private cloud;
- detecting, by the private cloud control center agent, security-risking behavior of the IoT device at least based on the monitored data transmission to or from the IoT device;
- upon detecting the security-risking behavior of the IoT device, performing, by the private cloud control center agent, a remedial action for the data transmission to or from the IoT device.
A system comprising:
- a private cloud control center agent provided between a public network and a private cloud and configured to:
- monitor data transmission to or from an IoT device that is carried out through the private cloud in accordance with an IoT rule for an IoT firewall that is applied in the data transmission of the IoT device, when the IoT device is connected for management thereof by the private cloud control center agent through the private cloud;
- detect security-risking behavior or state of the IoT device at least based on the monitored data transmission to or from the IoT device;
- upon detecting the security-risking behavior or state of the IoT device, perform a remedial action for the data transmission to or from the IoT device.
