Azure Security Center for IoT

Security Agent - C

ASC for IoT provides reference architecture for security agents that log, process, aggregate, and send security data through IoT hub. Security agents are designed to work in a constrained IoT environment, and are highly customizable in terms of values they provide when compared to the resources they consume.

Security agents support the following IoT solution features:

• Collect raw security events from the underlying OS (Linux, Windows). To learn more about available security data collectors, see ASC for IoT agent configuration.
• Aggregate raw security events into messages sent through IoT hub.
• Authenticate with existing device identity, or a dedicated module identity. See Security agent authentication methods to learn more.
• Configure remotely through use of the atpforiot module twin. To learn more, see Configure an ASC for IoT agent.

In this repository, you will find source code and binaries of C-based security agents for Linux
