Build your own proof of concept

Benefits

Audit the security posture of IoT resources across your device fleet to easily identify gaps and vulnerabilities.

Use machine learning (ML) models or define your own device behaviors to monitor traffic from a malicious IP or a spike in connection attempts.

Get security alerts when an audit fails or behavior anomalies are detected. Quickly take actions to minimize operational risk.

Easily mitigate security issues through built-in actions such as updating a device certificate, quarantining a group of devices, or replacing default policies.

AWS IoT Device Defender

Learn how to use AWS IoT Device Defender to manage the security of your IoT fleet. Get an overview of the key capabilities, such as auditing IoT configurations and continuously monitoring IoT devices.

Use cases

Implement security controls, such as authentication, authorization, and continual auditing, with various levels of strictness to comply with security best practices and monitor devices for any anomalies.

Send alarms to the AWS IoT console, Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS), and AWS IoT Device Management, and take mitigation actions such as pushing security fixes.

Detect the use of insecure network services and protocols with known security weaknesses, and plan the appropriate remediation to prevent unauthorized device access or data disclosure.

Use ML models to analyze historical device data. For example, you can continuously ingest and evaluate message size data, which can point to issues such as credential abuse.
