As the number of IoT devices deployed globally continues to rise, cyber-physical systems and business operations are exposed to greater risk. Improving asset visibility, monitoring and risk management are critical steps to preventing breaches.
As businesses continue to embrace digital transformation, the proliferation of internet of things (IoT) devices across industries has resulted in unprecedented operational benefits, from smart lighting and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) controls to building management and smart grid systems. However, these innovations and the sheer number of IoT devices being deployed every day come with a critical challenge: securing an ever-expanding attack surface, especially for traditional operational technology (OT) and critical cyber-physical systems (CPS) that are exposed to new vulnerabilities and threat actors.
Not only do IoT devices introduce more entry points for potential attackers, but many of these devices are often overlooked by traditional security efforts. IoT systems may share characteristics with both IT and OT, but they require a dedicated strategy to ensure they don’t become blind spots in your security…
