IoTGuard: Scalable and agile safeguards for Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as a force to be reckoned with on the internet and in the economy overall. The IoT is being incorporated into home, hospital and smart grid infrastructures. However, the IoT brings with it a host of potential new security breaches and attacks. This paper proposes IoTGuard as a multi-dimensional security framework to protect against such IoT attacks. It is made up of different systems that will detect abnormal traffic on IoT devices, identify malicious traffic patterns, and monitor IoT device system status. Through this intertwined system architecture, IoTGuard aims to monitor and inspect all traffic from IoT devices. The experimental results demonstrate a promising security architecture to protect the IoT environment.
