Abstract

Identifying Internet of Things (IoT) devices with packet flow behavior including by using machine learning models is disclosed. Information associated with a network communication of an IoT device is received. A determination of whether the IoT device has previously been classified is made. In response to determining that the IoT device has not previously been classified, a determination is made that a probability match for the IoT device against a behavior signature exceeds a threshold. Based at least in part on the probability match, a classification of the IoT device is provided to a security appliance configured to apply a policy to the IoT device.
