Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for identifying potentially risky traffic destined for network-connected devices may include (1) receiving, at a cloud-based server, characteristics of a network-connected device being adding to a network, (2) creating a digital virtual image of the network-connected device on the cloud-based server, (3) receiving a request sent to a port on the network-connected device and (4) performing a security action including (A) sending the request to the digital virtual image of the network-connected device, (B) identifying the request as a potentially risky request by monitoring a runtime reaction of the digital virtual image of the network-connected device to the request, and (C) sending, to a network monitoring device, a message indicating the request is a potentially risky request. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
