Industry Endorsement

“MUD technology is valuable for Innovative Lighting. MUD technology will enhance our commissioning process by identifying our devices on the network. Furthermore, MUD technology will provide the appropriate access control policy promoting a more secure system. We look forward to working more with Cisco and the MUD technology.”

Harry Aller, CTO, Innovative Lighting

“MUD was selected to protect Molex IoT solution against malicious parties. MUD is a relatively simple solution to implement at the device level, light on constrained IoT devices but takes advantage of strong network infrastructure including network switches and authorization server. Our goal to reduce exposure footprint and the overall solution allows us to provide a level of security to our customers that is scalable and flexible at the same time. The ability to whitelist specific devices in the field allows us to lock down the network but also to respond quickly to events that may take place post deployment.”

Technology - Manufacturer Usage Descriptions (MUD)

Manufacturer Usage Descriptions

MUD provides a means for end devices to signal to the network what sort of access and network functionality they require to properly function. This bridges the gap between the manufacturer and the user, and facilitates a level of trust and security that network and security administrators truly value. Device manufacturers can thus enhance the security of their devices, and Integrators can leverage this to segment a network with 'Things.'
