Abstract
System and methods are provided for building intelligence around IoT devices that can prioritize an attack attack sphere, such that scanning and protection can be focused on risky spheres before others that may be less at risk. The attack spheres include specific device types, vendors, geographic locations, demographics, or organizations. Priority based vulnerability scanning and protection is utilized along with the concept of attack spheres to define priority zones which may be unique. Priority computation based on trend analysis and predictive analysis is used to determine the vulnerability of specific devices and groups of devices. This will significantly reduce the attack exposure and ensures the proactive damage control.
