“Cloudflare is running a firewall in thousands of nodes in over 100 data centers. As requests are proxied through Cloudflare to the devices, Cloudflare inspects the requests and checks them against a list of known attack requests,” Grant told eSecurity Planet.
Of course, not all IoT services and devices are configured the same. “Orbit customers can additionally create custom rules to detect and filter traffic based on any traffic pattern,” Grant continued. “When rules are added, they take less than 30 seconds to propagate to all data centers, and will then protect traffic to all devices.”
Should a device vulnerability be discovered, vendors can deploy a virtual patch to all devices on the service simultaneously. “An example of virtual patching: when Cloudflare protected vulnerable web servers against the ShellShock bug,” Grant said
