Abstract
A method, apparatus and product for sub-networks based cyber security. One method includes detecting a device connecting to a local network, wherein the local network is divided into an initial set of subnets, identifying the device by performing a fingerprinting operation on the device, determining an expected usage of the device and updating the initial set of subnets based on the expected usage of the device to generate an updated set of subnets. The method further includes selecting a subnet of the updated set of subnets of the local network to connect the device based on the expected usage of the device, the selected subnet corresponding to the expected usage of the device and connecting the device to the selected subnet in the local network.
