Abstract
Devices with low or no security are often added to networks. These devices have the ability to utilize the network and, accordingly, may pose a security risk. Systems and methods herein enable a device to be added to a network and, if the resulting new traffic matches a template, the device is established on an automatically created virtual local area network (VLAN) used solely for the new device. A router is automatically configured to allow traffic that matches the type of device that was newly added, but if other traffic is detected, the device may be treated as a threat and managed accordingly.
