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. Periodically check policy rule recommendations for profiles with recommendations you've previously imported (
Device
or
Panorama
Policy Recommendation
IoT
). If there are additional ones without an entry in the Imported To column, they haven't been imported to the rulebase yet. Assess your security needs and consider importing these recommendations to the Security policy rulebase as described in Configure Device-ID.
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 rules to secure these devices.
Select

Add
a device object.
Browse
the list or

The search results can include multiple types of device object attributes (for example, both

To add a custom device object, enter a
Name

Always use a unique name for each device object. Do not change the tags in the description for device objects from policy rule recommendations.
