HANZO: Collaborative Network Defense for Connected Things

HANZO: Collaborative Network Defense for Connected Things by Aman.Singh _at_ www.palindrometech.com

The “Things” in IoT are typically shipped with default insecure configurations and vulnerable software stacks rendering host networks exposed to attacks, especially small networks with limited administration. We present a network system model for better configuration and operations management. Using this system model, we design and implement an autonomous network management platform with device classification and traffic characterization functions integrated in a network gateway firewall. We evaluate the system using a connected home testbed having a combination of IoT and general-purpose devices.
