The introduction of IoT devices into the enterprise can improve the work experience and productivity of staff, but often comes with increased security risk.
IoT devices notoriously bring additional vulnerabilities to the new edge without being adequately protected by the organization's network security.
ExtraHop, a firm that uses cloud-based machine learning to analyze hybrid network behavior discovered at the wire level is now expanding its Reveal(x) platform beyond the network proper to include attached IoT devices.
It will now discover, classify, and profile the behavior of IoT devices at the network edge, providing visibility, detection and response across the entire enterprise attack surface.
Thirdly, automatic segment detection infers which devices are part of the same service, enabling continuous behavioral monitoring and detection of IoT devices such as VoIP phones, printers, IP cameras and smartboards.
