I got a smart home...and I am using XG 17 home edition...how to configure my XG17 to best protect me against IoT attacks and security of IoT devices? I.e. how to configure Vlan etc?
There are multiple ways to protect your network with the XG, one such is to also install Sophos Central so you can utilize the heart beat aspects.
To best help you out I would go here and learn up! There is about 5 pages with 4 videos on each explain various XG aspects, really building a solid XG from the ground up will be the best method: https://vimeo.com/channels/xghowto/page:1
I have put all my IoT devices on their own network (wifi and VLAN) Then used clientless groups to lock users to the various rules. Also each device is assigned a static IP address so that clienteles groups can be enforced. Further I limit the IoT rules to the applications and ports required, there is no open (any) rule. Some of the devices are very crude and use a lot of MS basic networking which is open to attack.
