IoT Device Onboarding and Segmentation Agent

Every new IoT device identified, inventoried and confined to only the access it needs

IoT Device Onboarding and Segmentation Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

IoT devices often land on the main network with no inventory and no restrictions. When a new device appears, this agent identifies the device type from its address, traffic and vendor data. It checks the type against your approved list and places the device in a restricted segment. It then tests that only the traffic it needs works and that it cannot reach sensitive systems. If the tests fail, it reopens the request and adjusts the rules. The administrator approves each new device class. Edge case: a smart display wants the internet and a printer share, so the agent allows each only to the specific destinations.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

Read the steps as a list
  1. New device appears on the network
  2. Identify the device type from address, traffic and vendor data
  3. Check the type against the approved list
  4. Is the device class approved?If not: hold it in quarantine and request approval for a new class. Back to step 2.
  5. Administrator approves any new device classThe agent waits here for your OK.
  6. Place the device in the restricted segment with the minimum rules
  7. Test needed traffic and attempts to reach sensitive systems
  8. Does the needed traffic work and the blocked traffic stay blocked?If not: adjust the segment rules and test again. Back to step 6.
  9. Add the device to the inventory with an owner
  10. Device inventoried and confined

How it decides

A device is allowed when its class is approved and its access can be limited to named destinations. Unknown classes wait for approval.

  • Quarantine any unknown device
  • Allow only the destinations the device needs
  • Require an owner for every device
  • Treat a device that scans the network as suspicious

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Approved device classes
  • Segment names and rules
  • Quarantine time limit
  • Inventory fields required

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Administrator approves each new device class

Hard limits

  • Never leaves an unknown device on the main network
  • Never grants access beyond what the device needs

It stops when

  • Done: the device is confined and recorded
  • Stop: the device cannot be identified or owned and stays in quarantine

An example run

What happensA new camera appeared on the office VLAN. The agent identified it from vendor data and quarantined it. The device class was approved, so it moved to the camera segment. The first test showed the camera could reach the file server, so the check failed. The agent tightened the rule to the recorder only. The retest passed.
