IoT devices

IoT devices software enables centralized security management for interconnected devices, extending protection to the physical realm.

IoT security solutions help organizations manage the escalating threat landscape stemming from interconnected devices, from smart building sensors to industrial controllers. These solutions provide agentless visibility, behavioral baselining, and automated micro-segmentation to protect against vulnerabilities in IT, OT, and IoMT environments. By integrating with existing security infrastructure, IoT security platforms offer a unified view of cyber exposure.

The challenge

Your organization faces an expanding attack surface as IoT devices proliferate, connecting the physical and digital worlds. Legacy devices often lack adequate security, creating vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors. The increasing complexity of IoT environments, coupled with regulatory mandates, demands comprehensive security solutions. Without proper IoT security, your organization risks operational shutdowns, financial losses, compliance failures, and competitive disadvantage, highlighting the urgent need for robust protection mechanisms.

The solution

IoT devices addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.

Agentless discovery and inventory

Identifies devices by monitoring network traffic without installing software, providing complete visibility of all connected assets.

Continuous behavioral baselining

Utilizes machine learning to establish normal behavior for each device and flags deviations that indicate potential threats.

Vulnerability prioritization by exploitability

Prioritizes vulnerabilities based on their actual exploitability in the network, reducing remediation workload.

Automated micro-segmentation

Automatically groups devices into isolated zones and enforces Zero Trust policies to prevent lateral movement of threats.

Lifecycle security (OTA management)

Ensures over-the-air firmware updates are signed, encrypted, and can be safely rolled back if they fail.

Supply chain transparency (SBOM analysis)

Analyzes Software Bill of Materials to identify hidden vulnerabilities in third-party libraries used by device manufacturers.

How to evaluate IoT devices

1

Deployment model

Evaluate whether a cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid deployment model best fits your organization's infrastructure and security needs.

2

Integration depth

Ensure the IoT security platform integrates seamlessly with your existing SIEM, ITSM, and NAC systems to avoid creating data silos.

3

Total cost of ownership (TCO)

Consider professional services, integration costs, and data volume fees in addition to the base license price.

4

Vendor roadmap

Prioritize vendors that are investing in automation, GenAI assistants, and Agentic SOC features to reduce alert fatigue.

Questions to ask suppliers

Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.

IoT devices RFP guide
  • Can your platform provide 100% visibility and classification of unmanaged devices running legacy protocols without requiring an agent or active scan?
  • How does your risk prioritization engine incorporate exploitability to determine if a vulnerability is blocked by a network firewall?
  • What is your strategy for handling Shadow AI and Shadow IoT to detect unapproved GenAI devices or rogue routers?
  • Can you demonstrate a pre-built Incident Response Playbook that integrates with our NAC or Firewall to automatically quarantine a compromised device?
