Securing Small-Business and Home Internet of Things (IoT) Devices: Mitigating Network-Based Attacks Using Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD)

This National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Practice Guide demonstrates how to use MUD to reduce the vulnerability of IoT devices to network-based threats as well as reduce the potential for harm from exploited IoT devices. It also shows IoT device developers and manufacturers, network equipment developers and manufacturers, and service providers who employ MUD-capable components how to integrate and use MUD and other tools to satisfy IoT users’ security.
