Abstract
A system and method are described for securing a network-connected device from a hacker having access to a network to which the network-connected device is communicatively connected. Such network-connected devices include a variety of electronics that when connected to the Internet are commonly referred to as the Internet of things ('IoT'). The systems and methods described herein include a transparent traffic control (TTC) device that is installed between an IoT device and a communications network to intercept data packets transmitted between the IoT device and the network and to allow or block the data packets based on rules for a group to which the IoT device or a remote destination are assigned.
