Abstract:
A method and system for detecting malicious behavior from smart appliances within a network. Smart appliances have a certain level of intelligence that allows them to perform a specific role more effectively and conveniently. Network traffic data and identification data is collected about smart appliances within a network. The data is sent to a behavior analysis engine, which computes confidence levels for anomalies within the network traffic that may be caused by malicious behavior. If the behavior analysis engine determines that malicious behavior is present in the network, it sends an instruction to a network traffic hub to block network traffic relating to the anomaly. In some embodiments, network traffic is blocked based on source-destination pairs. In some embodiments, network traffic is blocked from a device outside the network that is determined to be malicious.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving network traffic data from a network traffic hub within a local network, the network traffic data identifying a source address and a destination address, the network traffic hub configured to aggregate intercepted network traffic; receiving identification data from the network traffic hub identifying a smart appliance on the local network and identifying a current internet address for the smart appliance on the local network; computing, for the smart appliance, a score based on features of the network traffic data and the identification data, the score comprising a numeric confidence value representing a probability that the smart appliance is performing a malicious behavior; and in response to the numeric confidence value exceeding a threshold, blocking subsequent network traffic being sent to the destination address or being sent from the source address responsive and sending a notification to a user.
