Malicious behavior of a device on a local network may be detected. A data stream from a device may be collected. A functional group may be created using behavioral data of devices of a known type. A behavior profile for the functional group may be generated and stored in a database. The data stream of the device is compared to the behavior profile of the functional group. A malicious behavior is indicated for the device in response to determining that the device's current behavior is not within a predetermined or configurable threshold of the behavior profile.

System and method for detecting malicious device by using a behavior analysis

Methods and systems for securing a network including IoT devices are provided. A networking device system can regulate the ability of IoT devices to communicate with their corresponding cloud servers over the Internet, for example, by allowing a device to connect to its associated cloud servers when a user (e.g., an authorized user) requests to use the device. The system can communicate (e.g., directly) with users outside of the network through an app and/or a software development kit installed on user client device(s), where communications received from the app or kit (e.g., to access one or more IoT devices on the network) can be presumed to originate from authorized users.
