Abstract
A monitoring apparatus () for a network of communications-enabled devices includes: a processing resource () arranged to support a data selection module () and a data analysis module (). The apparatus () also includes a communications interface () operably coupled to the processing resource () and arranged to receive a plurality of data fragments. The plurality of data fragments each bear a respective device identifier and associated observation data, the plurality of data fragments respectively including a plurality of unique device identifiers. The data selection module () is arranged to read the respective identifiers of the plurality of data fragments and the associated observation data and to identify a set of the plurality of data fragments generated as a result of a common device characteristic. The data analysis module () is arranged to analyse the set of the plurality of data fragments identified by the data selection module in order to detect anomalous device activity.
