Abstract
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.
