Securing communication in heterogeneous networks with different protection levels
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11956279B2) discloses a method for enhancing device security by monitoring communication between a device and external devices using a security agent. The method involves determining different levels of in-device protection for external devices, such as a first and second device, and applying corresponding security policies based on these protection levels. The security agent triggers the installation of a new security agent on a second device if it detects irregular communication, ensuring enhanced security. Additionally, the method involves utilizing a trusted server to validate communications from the second device, improving overall security measures.
Furthermore, the patent includes provisions for requesting vendors to install security agents on devices, determining protection levels based on vulnerability information from a database, and employing different security policies for incoming communications based on the device's protection level. By implementing dedicated security agents and policies tailored to each device's protection level, the method aims to mitigate potential risks posed by irregular communications and enhance overall device security in a networked environment.
