1. A system for optimum internet-of-things (IoT) device security, the system comprising:
a memory; and
a processor in communication with the memory, the processor being configured to perform operations comprising:
identifying that content is generated for a communication between IoT devices;
identifying a source device and a target device of the IoT devices and identifying a type of device for both the source device and the target device;
analyzing the content;
determining a sensitivity of the content;
assigning, based on the determining, a security level to either of the source device or the target device, wherein the security level for the source device is weighted if the source device is generating personal identifiable information (PPI) or sensitive personal information (SPI) data, and wherein a communication link is weighted if the target device is accepting PPI or SPI data; and
applying a communication encryption based on the assigned security level, wherein the communication is augmented based on the type of device.
