Abstract
Peer device protection enables a first device comprising a digital security agent to remedy security issues on (or associated with) a set of devices visible to the first device. The first device may comprise a digital security agent may identify a set of devices visible to the first device. The first device may monitor the set of devices to collect data, such as types of communications and data points of interest. The digital security agent may apply threat detection to the collected data to identify anomalous network behavior. When anomalous network behavior is detected, the first device may cause an indicator of compromise (IOC) to be generated. Based on the IOC, the first device may facilitate remediation of the anomalous network behavior and/or apply security to one or more devices in the set of devices.
