Towards Automating IoT Security:
Fagan Michael · 2025
This document provides an overview of trusted Internet of Things (IoT) device network-layer onboarding, a capability for securely providing IoT devices with their local network credentials in a manner that helps to ensure that the network is not put at risk as new IoT devices are connected to it-enhancing network security and management. AudienceThis paper is intended for individuals and organizations who use IoT devices to collect data from a variety of systems and locations in order to enable quick identification of potential issues and rapid response and management of them.For example, IoT devices could measure real-time data to detect component faults, measure toxins, or detect infrastructure breaches.Whether these IoT devices are used on complex operational networks or relatively simple home networks, the goal is to avoid exposing those networks and devices to additional threats.
