Security and access control is provided for sensor devices, the data captured by sensor devices, and the results of processing and analyzing that data. In one aspect, SceneData related to a Scene is requested from a sensor-side technology stack and at least some of the SceneData is secured, for example by encryption. Different SceneData can be secured separately and at different levels of security, thus providing fine-grained security of the SceneData. In yet another aspect, data security is implemented by a separate privacy management system. In yet another aspect, sensor devices themselves are secured against external network threats. The sensor device includes an execution environment and a separate network management layer that secures the execution environment against threats from the external network. In one implementation, the sensor device is partitioned into a trusted region and a non-trusted region, and the network security stack is implemented in the trusted region.
