US Patent Issued to Palo Alto Networks on April 29 for "Multi-dimensional periodicity detection of IOT device behavior" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,289,328, issued on April 29, was assigned to Palo Alto Networks Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Multi-dimensional periodicity detection of IOT device behavior" was invented by Jun Du (Cupertino, Calif.) and Mei Wang (Saratoga, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques for detecting anomalous behavior of an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device in an IoT network. IoT events of an IoT device are captured and analyzed to identify periodic activities of the IoT device. The periodic activities of the IoT device are tracked over time, and variations in the periodic activities are analyzed to assess potential threats to the IoT network."
