What does this dashboard show you?
The IoT Security dashboard provides information about the devices on the
network, their device profiles and operating systems, and how they are distributed
by device type across subnets. For advanced IoT Security products (Enterprise IoT Security
Plus, Industrial IoT Security, or Medical IoT Security), the
IoT Security dashboard additionally displays the total
number of active alerts to date and vulnerabilities to date.
Text formatted in blue is interactive. Here’s what happens when you click it:
- Summary (at the top) – Total Devices and IoT Devices link to the page with filters applied to display the inventory for all devices or all IoT devices. The text in blue for Active Alerts to Date and Active Vulnerabilities to Date opens corresponding pages in your IoT Security portal. (When there are no alerts or vulnerabilities, the number is 0 and there is no link.)
- Devices – Click a section in the chart or entry in the Device Type column to zoom in to see the device categories within a chosen type, and from there to see the device profiles within a chosen category. Clicking back within the chart or clicking a breadcrumb above the table zooms back out to a broader level of device classification.The numbers in the Devices and Devices at Risk columns link to the page. Strata Cloud Manager automatically applies a filter to show devices matching the chosen column and row, which can be Device Type, Category Name, or Profile Name depending on the current level on display.You sometimes see the numbers of new devices that IoT Security detects on the network. These numbers appear to the left of numbers in the Devices column. IoT Security considers devices to be “New” if it first detects them on the network within the time filter set at the top of the dashboard.
- Top 10 Operating Systems – The numbers in the Devices column link to the page with a filter applied to show only devices with the chosen OS.
- Subnet Distribution by Device Type – Hover your cursor over the bar for a subnet to see the number of devices grouped by device type are in the subnet. This information helps you decide if too many unrelated device types are mixed together in the same subnet. For example, if you see facility, industrial, and consumer IoT devices in one subnet, you might want to segment the devices of each type into their own separate subnets. Clicking Networks & Sites launches a new browser window and opens in the IoT Security portal.
How can you use the data from this dashboard?
Use the data in this dashboard to learn about the devices on your
network:
Filters (at the top of the page)
- Filter the data displayed in the dashboard by device type and period of time (past year, month, week, day, or hour) to see data about devices of interest.
Summary (across the top of the dashboard)
- See the total number of devices that have been active on your network as determined by the device type and time filters.
- Of the total number of active devices, see how many are specifically IoT devices.
- Develop a sense of the security landscape in which devices operate by seeing the number of active alerts and vulnerabilities detected to date.
Devices
- Learn how many devices there are among various device types and drill down to learn how many devices are among various device categories and then among various device profiles. Find out how many critical risk devices are at each increasingly granular level of device classification and what kind of devices they are.
Top 10 Operating Systems
- Of all the devices whose OS IoT Security detected, see the top 10 most common operating systems, how many devices use each one, and what that percent is.
Subnet Distribution by Device Type
- See how different device types are distributed in subnets throughout the network. If you see a large mix of device types in the same subnet, consider segmenting them into their own, separate subnets.
