Abstract
A network device receives, from an Internet of Things (IoT) device, a Domain Name System (DNS) query that includes a domain name for resolving a network address associated with a remote server with which the IoT device intends to communicate. The network device retrieves the domain name from the DNS query, determines an identity associated with the IoT device, and determines one or more valid domains associated with the determined IoT device identity. The network device compares the domain name retrieved from the DNS query with the determined one or more valid domains associated with the determined IoT device identity, and allows or denies network access to the IoT device based on the comparison.
