Apparatus and methods for micro-segmentation of an enterprise internet-of-things network

Abstract:

Apparatus, systems, architectures and methods for communication over an enterprise internet-of-things (EIoT) network are disclosed. Network(s) may be micro- segmented. Network segment(s) may be associated with distinct function(s). EIoT device(s) may be identified by type(s), class(es), functionality(ies), function(s) and/or security level(s). EIoT device protocol(s) may be translated/emulated. EIoT device(s) may be temporarily/ permanently quarantined. Network gateway(s) may factor EIoT device/network data based on function(s) and/or specification(s). Data may be routed to network segment(s) based on associated function(s).
