Manage Device-ID

Update your policy rule recommendations as necessary.
As IoT devices gain new capabilities, IoT Security updates its policy rule recommendations to advise what additional traffic or protocols firewalls should allow. Check IoT Security daily for changes and update your policy rule recommendations as soon as possible. The update procedure differs depending on whether you’re using Panorama to manage your firewalls.
When using firewalls with Panorama management:
(
IoT Security
)
Edit
the policy rules in an activated policy rules set and then click
Next
.
Select any new recommendations, click
Next
, and then
Save
your changes.
(
Panorama
) Select
Policy Recommendation
IoT
and then
Import Policy Rules
.
Choose one or more device groups and then click
Yes
to confirm that you want to overwrite current rule recommendations and previously imported rules in the rulebase.
Commit
your changes.
When using firewalls without Panorama management:
(
IoT Security
)
Edit
the policy rules in an activated policy rules set and then click
Next
.
Select any new recommendations, click
Next
, and then
Save
your changes.
(
PAN-OS UI
) Select
Policy Recommendation
IoT
, note details of any policy rule recommendations with
Yes
in the New Updates Available column, and then edit and save the corresponding imported policy rule on the
Policies
page.
Select
Policy Recommendation
IoT
and then
Sync Policy Rules
to refresh the mapping between the edited rules and the rule recommendations.
When the corresponding rules on the
Policies
page and
Policy Recommendation
IoT
page match, the New Updates Available column changes from
Yes
to
No
.
Commit
your changes.
Review, update, and maintain the device objects in the Device Dictionary.
You must create device objects for any devices that do not have an IoT Security policy rule recommendation. For example, you cannot secure traditional IT devices such as laptops and smartphones using IoT Security policy rule recommendations, so you must create device objects for these types of devices and use them in your Security policy to secure these devices.
Select
Objects
Devices
.
Add
a device object.
Browse
the list or
Search
using keywords.
The search results can include multiple types of device object attributes (for example, both
Category
and
Profile
).
To add a custom device object, enter a
Name
and optionally a
Description
for the device object.
Always use a unique name for each device object. Do not change the tags in the description for device objects from policy rule recommendations.
(
Panorama only
) Select the
Shared
option to make this device object available to other device groups.
Select the attributes for the device object (
Category
,
OS
,
Profile
,
Osfamily
,
Model
, and
Vendor
).
Click
OK
to confirm your changes.
Delete any policy rule recommendations that are no longer needed.
If policy rule recommendations no longer apply, you can remove the recommendations and the rules mapped to the recommendations.
In IoT Security, delete one or more policy rule recommendations from a policy rule set.
Edit
the policy set, clear the policy rules you want to remove, and then
Save
the policy set.
