Case Study Optiv and Palo Alto Networks Partner to Decrease Client’s Risk for IoT Devices Overview Challenges Optiv Approach Results Overview A major sports retailer recently opened a large new R&D facility replete with internet of things (IoT) devices. Their security team received alerts every time a new device connected to their network, but they lacked the necessary visibility to identify and assess connected devices and build an onboarding segmentation enforcement plan. Due to the sensitive nature of the research being done in the facility, the client’s security team received budget approval from the board to purchase technology that could enhance visibility into any new risks introduced by the IoT devices to the environment. “This facility is instrumental to our efforts in pushing boundaries and driving “what’s next” in our industry. Foundational to those efforts is backstopping the R&D landscape with comprehensive cybersecurity solutions.” – Applications Security Administrator, Major Sports Retailer Industry: Retail Objective: Establish IoT device enforcement standards across a large R&D facility Technologies Used: Palo Alto Networks How We Helped: Zero Trust Enforcement Threat Detection Workflow Automation Download Case Study PDF Challenges Optiv and the client worked to address these areas Lack of Visibility The client did not have full visibility of its IoT device network, delaying its ability to establish enforcement standards. Existing Technology Preferences The client already had solutions for security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) and was not interested in switching technologies. Executive Mandates A board-level directive on IoT device visibility elevated the importance of completing the project successfully. Lack of Clarity This was a new process for the client, making implementation and integration difficult. Optiv Approach Image Visibility The client needed the ability to view both new and existing devices. Image Ease of Use The selected vendor should have the ability to provide broad coverage for a variety of device types. Image Coverage The vendor should be able to provide broad coverage of a variety of device types. Image Alignment The vendor’s technology should be able to build a path towards the client’s long-term goal of enforcement. Image Solution Optiv recommended Palo Alto Networks' IoT Security Solution as a way to deliver ML-powered visibility, prevention and Zero Trust enforcement in a single platform.
