Isolating resources between sub-entities. A method includes receiving data from a particular connected device. A memory storing a hierarchical graph that defines a topology for an entity is accessed. Branches or leaves in the graph include a node that represents a connected device, such as a sensor, controller, or computing system. Each connected device is configured to provide data or receive control signals. Each of the branches or leaves can be indicated as belonging to a particular sub-entity. A particular branch from the hierarchical graph having the particular connected device is identified using the graph. A sub-entity to which the particular branch belongs is identified. The method identifies that the particular sub-entity should be isolated from other sub entities. The data from the particular connected device is provided to a set of resources specifically allocated for the particular sub-entity.
