Network Sentinel demo

Spot an IoT device reaching for your computers

Notice when a TV, camera or speaker opens a connection to a workstation or NAS it has never talked to before.

3 minute walkthrough

The challenge

Smart devices share the same flat network as laptops and file servers, and nothing tells you when one of them starts probing the others.

The scenario

A smart TV that only ever streams video opens an SMB session to a laptop one evening.

What goes in

Internal flows: Device-to-device connections seen by the sensor.

What you can ask

Illustrative prompts. Results depend on your own data and are not deterministic.

“Which devices does the TV normally talk to?”
“Why is an IoT device connecting to a laptop unexpected?”
“Should the IoT devices be on their own VLAN?”

How Clearception approaches it

How the work is structured. Each step shows what its output is grounded in.

Classify devices
Observed
Type each device — TV, camera, laptop, NAS — from its identity signals.
Learn peer paths
Observed
Record which devices each one normally talks to, and on which ports.
Flag new cross-class paths
Observed
Report an IoT or guest device opening file-sharing or remote-access sessions to a computer.
Contain if needed
Human-verified
Isolate the device through a confirmed firewall or UniFi action.

What you get

The shape of what comes back — not a promised result.

Unexpected internal connection
Observed
The new path, its protocol and a link to the flows behind it.

Why it matters

Segmentation you can justify: Evidence of which devices need to talk, and which do not.

About Network Sentinel

Know every device. Understand every connection. Keep your network private.

Capabilities used

Device Discovery — Identify every device on a network from several signals at once — hardware address, DHCP, mDNS, services and behaviour — with a stated confidence.
Behavioral Baselines — Learn what each device normally does, and report deviations against that device's own history rather than a generic rule.
Risk Scoring — Score a change, a lot or a habitat on a published rubric you can read component by component.
Evidence Trail — Every figure carries the record it came from, so a reader can check the answer instead of trusting it.

Who it is for

Home & Studio Network Owner — Wants to know what every device at home or in the studio is doing, without sending that traffic anywhere.
IT Administrator — Keeps a small office's network running and has to explain anything unusual on it.

Network Sentinel

Find out what an unrecognised device is doing on your network

Identify a device nobody recognises, see everything it has contacted, and decide whether it belongs.
