1. A method for securing a plurality of IoT devices using a gateway comprising:
intercepting, by a gateway, information about interactions between a first IoT device and at least one of: a second IoT device, a computer server, and a computer service;
detecting, by the gateway, one or more cyber security threats based on the intercepted information and based on information stored in at least one of a first database and a second database, wherein the first database is configured to store information about IoT devices and wherein the second database is configured to store information about cyber security threats;
identifying, by the gateway, one or more cyber security threat mitigation actions to address the detected one or more cyber security threats including at least one of: updating password of the first IoT device, updating firmware of the first IoT device, checking access to the first IoT device via Telnet/SSH port, and checking access to the first IoT device by guessing passwords; and
performing, by the gateway, the identified one or more cyber security threat mitigation actions.
