Gartner estimates that by 2020, more than 25% of cyberattacks will involve commercial IoT devices.
Unfortunately, traditional security tools and approaches such as endpoint detection and response (EDR) applications can’t be deployed on IoT devices since they are usually limited by processing power or memory—or may be completely closed by the vendor.
Yet the trend of IoT and even “Bring Your Own IoT” (resulting in devices unknown to IT) must be identified, and then policies must be established to determine what applications, systems, and devices they can communicate with. Finally, if an attack does occur, it must be contained so no harm comes to the rest of the organization.
There can be significant consequences to a hacked IoT device:
ARIA Cybersecurity Solutionshas developed a solution to overcome these security vulnerabilities presented by IoT devices. By combining our ARIA SDS Packet Intelligence solution with our ARIA ADR solution, we can now provide incredibly powerful IoT security.
For example, the ARIA solution deploys transparently in the network and allows all IoT devices to be detected and monitored by looking through the network data as it flows through each device. ARIA Packet Intelligence successfully classifies this data on the fly without impacting its delivery to allow monitoring of various IoT devices in-network aggregation points that are usually one step back in the wireline network.
Additionally, the ARIA SDS solutions gives both enterprises and managed security service providers (MSSPs) a powerful new managed detection and response (MDR) solution capable of stopping more threats within the network. This gives MSSPs valuable new service offerings, so they can better serve their clients—and stand apart from the competition.
