IoT Security is
an on-demand cloud subscription service designed to discover and
protect the growing number of connected “things” on your network.
Unlike IT devices such as laptop computers that perform a wide variety
of tasks, IoT devices tend to be purpose-built with a narrowly defined
set of functions. As a result, IoT devices generate unique, identifiable
patterns of network behavior. Using machine learning and AI, IoT
Security recognizes these behaviors and identifies every device
on the network, creating a rich, context-aware inventory that’s
dynamically maintained and always up to date.
After it identifies a device and establishes a baseline of its
normal network activities, it continues monitoring its network activity
so it can detect any unusual behavior indicative of an attack or
breach. If it detects such behavior, IoT Security notifies administrators
through security alerts in the IoT Security portal and, depending
on each administrator’s notification settings, through email and
SMS notifications.
