Application: Internet of things security (Patent ID: US20230379355A1)
The patent filed by BT Group Plc describes a computer-implemented security method for a set of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, including sensors and actuators, to mitigate network attacks. The method involves defining responsive actions for different types of network attacks, detecting compromised devices based on attack occurrences, selecting appropriate responsive actions, and triggering them to mitigate the attack. The system prioritizes compromised devices, communicates securely with devices for action triggering, and utilizes data from sensors or network traffic for detection.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims detailing the implementation of the security method, such as prioritizing multiple compromised devices, utilizing proximate devices for mitigation, and storing responsive actions in a data repository. It also describes a computer system and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing the program code for implementing the security method. These claims emphasize the importance of defining responsive actions, detecting compromised states, and triggering actions to protect IoT devices from network attacks based on predefined criteria and data analysis.
