A new study incorporates analysis of anonymized data from more than 5 million unmanaged, IoT, and IoMT devices in Ordr customer deployments across a variety of verticals including healthcare, life sciences, retail and manufacturing, between June 2019 and June 2020.

"In some of my recent research around enterprise IoT security I've found that more than 51 percent of IT teams are unaware of what types of devices are touching their network," said Zeus Kerravala, Principal Analyst, ZK Research.

Among the report's most interesting findings were the frequent discovery of consumer-grade shadow IoT devices on the network such as Amazon Alexa and Echo devices.

"To truly realize the potential of IoT, security is paramount. As more IoT devices are deployed, security and risk decision makers need to not only gain visibility into what is connecting to their network, but also understand how it is behaving."

75 percent of healthcare deployments had VLAN violations where medical devices were connected to the same VLAN and subnet as other non-medical devices.
