## Customize names of detected ports

Customize the name of a port detected by Defender for IoT when you want to highlight it for some reason, such as because there's unusually high activity detected.

Defender for IoT automatically assigns names to most universally reserved ports, such as DHCP or HTTP. However, you might want to customize the name of specific port to highlight it, such as when you're watching a port with unusually high activity detected.
