A computing device receives one or more network communication anomaly conditions that indicate abnormal network communication traffic for a class of devices associated with the computing device; monitors network communication data of the computing device; determines whether the network communication data of the computing device satisfies the one or more network communication anomaly conditions; and responsive to determining that the network communication data of the computing device satisfies the one or more network communication anomaly conditions, performs an anomaly detection operation for the computing device.

Edge-based intelligence for anomaly detection

In one embodiment, a device and a services provisioning system establish an over-the-air connection with each other, and perform device posture validation to obtain a unique identification (ID) of the device at the provisioning system. The device and provisioning system then participate in device and user authentication in response to a confirmed unique ID by a backend access control system, where the device generates a secure key pair after successful user authentication. In response to the device being approved for services (e.g., checked by the provisioning system via a registration system), the provisioning system provides a root certificate to the device, and the device sends a certificate enrollment request back to the provisioning system. In response to a certificate authority signing the certificate request, the provisioning system returns a valid certificate to the device, and the valid certificate is installed on the device.

According to an approach for securely deploying and configuring network devices, a secure introduction connection is established between a network device being deployed and a registrar. The secure introduction connection may conform to a secure communications protocol, such as HTTPS. The registrar provides bootstrap configuration data to the network device over the secure introduction connection. The bootstrap configuration data is used to establish a secure management connection between the network device and a secure management gateway. The secure management connection may conform to a secure communications protocol, such as IPsec or HTTPS. The secure management gateway provides user-specific configuration data and security policy data to the network device over the secure management connection. The user-specific configuration data and policy data are used to establish a secure data connection, such as a Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN) connection, between the network device and the secure data gateway.
