Abstract
Networked device management is based on an ontology graph which includes device nodes, physical facility nodes, and edges. The ontology graph may go beyond network topology by also documenting: relationships between devices and facilities, facility attributes such as facility-specific security scores, and device characteristics such as whether a device is recognized, whether it is authorized, and its mission criticality. Medical devices, physical condition sensors, and other internet of things devices, including those embedded in vehicles, those located on a vehicle, those used for industrial control, or those which are intermittently air-gapped, are managed. Devices may be discovered by extraction of identifications and characteristics from telemetry data in a staged architecture. Security postures may be assessed, and security recommendations based on device context may be provided.
