Abstract
A protection system, method, and a security device can protect an Internet of things (IOT) system having connected hardware equipment, including at least an interface that can receive a control communication for controlling at least one connected device. They feature tasks/steps that intercept control communication between a controller and a connected device, determine whether the received control communication contains an undesirable control command, and either pass or block the received control communication to the connected device depending on whether the received control communication contains an undesirable control command. The security device can be disposed between a source of communication in an IOT network and the connected device for protection.
