Abstract
Various embodiments of the invention increase security of a network of interoperable devices. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by a security module that uses a user-definable security policy that sets forth one or more tests for validating input data or commands received from an IoT device. A validator receives the command via a command controller and performs a security analysis of the command according to the security policy. Responsive to the security analysis, the validator generates a validation signal in order to authorize or reject further processing of the command.
