Internet of Things (IoT) Security Services Internet Connected Devices Boost Productivity, but Must Be Secured Overview Importance of IoT Security Services Top IoT Security Issues IoT Security Services Optiv for IoT Security Insights Contact Us Identify, Secure and Monitor Your IoT Devices As IoT devices become the cornerstone for the next wave of business expansions, you must secure them with a robust IoT security service. Otherwise, you risk losing control over your sensors and purpose-built enterprise devices. Verizon’s 2024 MSI report says that 95% of survey respondents use IoT devices and over half have experienced severe IoT security incidents. Using Optiv’s IoT security services helps you manage and protect the IoT devices in your business environment. You will gain new levels of visibility into IoT devices and data traffic, thus greatly reducing the risk of malware, targeted attacks and security incidents that in turn lead to stalled outcomes, financial losses and intellectual property theft. What Is IoT Security? IoT security is the method of protecting internet-connected or network-based devices. IoT technology is rapidly evolving to include thermostats, doorbell cameras, smart speakers, wearables and video game consoles. These smart and connected devices have the ability to interact with other devices, the internet or both. Because IoT is so broad, IoT security is even larger. Securing IoT involves various techniques, strategies and tools to protect IoT from becoming compromised. Optiv’s IoT security solutions help you identify critical assets, risks and vulnerabilities – along with any anomalous or unauthorized behavior. Most importantly, you will prevent incidents quickly and easily across your increasingly complicated technical ecosystem before they can negatively impact your business.

As the rapid growth of IoT devices continues to increase, organizations everywhere are challenged to identify, secure and manage IoT security for their connected devices. Previously unmanaged, these connected devices represent a growing risk for a variety of reasons: Endpoint agents are unable to run directly 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. Unmanaged Asset Security Journey Image Click to Expand The Rise of New IoT 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 the Top 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 patching Inadequate third-party/vendor security posture Insufficient privacy protection, including encryption Compromised device user ignorance/unawareness Insufficient device physical security Untrusted execution environment It is possible to defend against these types of attacks by developing a more robust IoT security strategy that covers all your connected devices.
