authentication method when Gathering inventory from internet facing devices

We are looking to configure gathering inventory from internet facing devices and are working on a solution leveraging our F5 load balancer to redirect external traffic to our internal beacon over https:

The concern the security team has is the authentication mechanism used by the agent to communicate over HTTPS to the beacon and what measures are in place to prevent a bogus device reporting into the beacon.

What is best practice configuration of the beacon to reduce security risk when attempting to gather inventory from internet facing devices.

 

Thanks

Craig

If you haven't already please vote on Please can you support Mutual TLS Authentication (mTLS) supported by FNMS ? and please be aware of Matt's comments underneath.
