Description/Abstract:

Gartner reports that there will be around 20.8 billion [IoT devices] by 2020. Among these devices are countless vulnerabilities and security concerns. As of now, there is no single device that remediates those vulnerabilities or even detects them. The Mirai botnet incident took countless websites offline and affected millions of people. What if there was a device that could have detected this sort of activity? Our product would have thwarted an attack of this type via network monitoring of each IoT device on a user’s home network. Our product would function as a plug and play device and would be able to detect abnormal IoT network activity. The objective is to ensure the devices are only operating based on necessity. This gives the owners peace of mind that their IoT devices are functioning normally. The number of IoT devices is going to surpass the number of mobile phones and computers in the coming years. This will require the need for additional security measures similar to that of antivirus. Our product is a step in the right direction for securing these devices
