Internet of Things (IoT) Security Services Internet-Connected Devices Create New Levels of Efficiency and Productivity – but They Must Be Protected Against Attack IoT Overview IoT Challenges IoT Services Why Optiv Contact Us Identify, Secure and Monitor Your IoT Devices As organizations modernize their systems, IoT devices have quickly become critical components for creating competitive advantages. Their addition to IT environments allows companies to create and use better data sets – allowing them to manage technology better, create operational efficiencies, increase output, reduce costs, and eliminate downtime. Using Optiv’s IoT Security services, you’ll better manage and protect all the IoT devices in your environment. You’ll gain new levels of visibility into IoT devices and data traffic so you can greatly reduce the risk of malware and targeted attacks and security incidents that can lead to stalled production, financial losses, or even theft of critical IP. What Is IoT Security? Internet of things (IoT) security is the method of protection used to secure internet-connected or network-based devices. Defining what IoT technology is changes constantly – things like thermostats, doorbell cameras, smart speakers, wearables and video game consoles, to name a few. Nearly all of these have the ability to interact with other devices, the internet, or both in some way. Because IoT is so broad, IoT security even larger. The result? A variety of methodologies fall under the umbrella of IoT security. Securing IoT involves various techniques, strategies and tools to protect IoT from becoming compromised.

As the rapid growth of IoT devices continues to pick up speed, organizations everywhere are challenged to identify, secure and manage security for all the technologies connected to their network. Previously unmanaged, these connected devices represent a growing risk for a variety of reasons: Endpoint agents are unable to run on devices Active scanning slows production Industry-specific protocols are not understood There is limited visibility into devices and communication paths – if there’s any visibility at all Traditional perimeter firewalls and conventional security defenses are simply not up to the task of protecting these IoT networks. IoT Advantages Bring New Security Vulnerabilities Connected devices promise tremendous advantages in terms of optimizing operations and streamlining production processes…but they also create significant, often overlooked security challenges. What Are IoT Security Issues? Incorrect access control/enforcement of who/how, including authentication A massive attack surface due to device multiple internet services Application vulnerabilities caused by outdated software and/or lack of patchingUntrusted execution environment Inadequate third-party/vendor security posture Insufficient privacy protection, including encryptionCompromised device user ignorance/unawareness Insufficient device physical security Optiv’s Internet of Things Security Services Optiv offers a variety of IoT security solutions to identify, segment and protect all of your IoT devices and the data they produce.
