Abstract
Techniques for identification and isolation of Internet-of-Things devices in an enterprise network are described. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a plurality of devices having a first network interface to connect to a wireless wide area network and a second network interface to connect to an enterprise network. The method also includes identifying a first subset of the plurality of devices as Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices based on at least a detected repetition rate on a physical random access channel of a transmission made by a device of the plurality of devices. The method includes assigning the IoT devices to a separate network segment within the enterprise network.
