Network device data exchange coordination

A method for coordinating data exchange with an IoT device, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a communication interface, at least one network message including a payload associated with the IoT device;
• retrieving a data exchange policy for the IoT device;
• determining whether the payload is valid based on the data exchange policy;
• and
• in response to determining that the payload is invalid, processing the at least one network message based on the data exchange policy.

A system comprising:

• an IoT device;
• an enterprise application server configured to remotely control the IoT device;
• a database containing an information model of the capabilities of the IoT device;
• and
• an IoT firewall, communicatively coupled to the IoT device, the enterprise application server, and the database, the IoT firewall configured to
• receive, from the enterprise application server, at least one network message including a payload associated with the IoT device;
• retrieve, from the database, a data exchange policy for the IoT device;
• determine whether the payload is valid based on the data exchange policy;
• and
• in response to determining that the payload is invalid, process the at least one network message based on the data exchange policy.
