Online Defense and Advanced IoT Protection are both security features. Online Defense protects all your connected home devices from going to sites already known to host malware, spam, or phishing attacks. Advanced IoT Protection provides protection from new, unknown attacks that are currently not part of any known threat intelligence database.
Advanced IoT Protection detects unusual patterns in your IoT device's activity that may indicate the device is infected. If the device attempts to connect to a site that is not considered part of its usual behavior, the connection is blocked and the device is quarantined from the rest of the local network. The quarantine prevents the possible infection from spreading to the rest of your devices on the network until you decide what to do with the quarantined device.
How to enable Advanced IoT Protection
Advanced IoT is enabled on all profiles by default.
- On the Settings page, click on the Security tile
- Then click on All profiles next to Advanced IoT
- Then click on the profiles that you want to enable Advanced IoT
- Enabling it for a profile will enable Advanced IoT for all devices assigned to a profile
Online Defense must already be enabled before you enable Advanced IoT Protection.
