SECURITY ARCHITECTURE FOR MACHINE TYPE COMMUNICATIONS

Various communication systems may benefit from increased security. For example, communication systems that include machine type communications may benefit from improved security and fault detection. A method, in certain embodiments, may include receiving data at an internet of things module in a mobile network from a robot controller. The data includes sensor information from a plurality of machine type communication devices. The method may also include detecting an attack on the mobile network based on the sensor information. In addition, the method may include determining a preventive action to prevent the attack. Further, the method may include sending an indication of the attack to at least one of the robot controller, another robot controller, or another internet of things module. The indication includes the preventive action.
