Abstract:
Providing an interested party with network availability of certain devices may provide a method including one or more of receiving user requirements for a user device, identifying IoT devices based on a degree of matching between manufacturer-defined capabilities of the IoT devices and the user requirements, verifying the manufacturer-defined capabilities based on tests that expose risks with the manufacturer-defined capabilities of the IoT devices in comparison to current operating features of the IoT devices, determining that no single IoT device satisfies the user requirements based on the verifying, identifying a group of IoT devices which meet or exceed the user requirements, and outputting information about the group of IoT devices including information about exposed risks with manufacturer-defined capabilities of the group of IoT devices via a user interface which enables selection and use of IoT devices included within the group of IoT devices.
