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.
