Facilitating quality of service and security via functional classification of devices in networks

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• determining logic information associated with a function of functions of a device of a network, wherein the device is configured to communicate information about events associated with operations of the device;
• determining a potential impact of failure of the device to perform the function;
• and
• determining security control information for the device based on the logic information and the potential impact of the failure.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving notification information indicative of a presence of a device among devices within a network, wherein the devices are configured to communicate information about events associated with respective operations of the devices;
• receiving first information indicative of an identity of the device and a functional classification associated with a function of the device;
• and
• initiating, to a controller within the network, a transmission of second information for association of third information indicative of the functional classification of the function of the device with data generated by the device.
