Optiv Security unveiled its Enterprise Internet of Things Lab in response to a growing and ever-present pain point for client security leaders - the proliferation of IoT devices on organizational networks.

Show organizations how to discover IoT devices present in their environment, assess devices for vulnerabilities, and mitigate outstanding security issues.

"Current technologies focused on traditional network assets can fall short when trying to assess IoT targets, and solutions focused on the OT/ICS space don't always integrate with the enterprise vulnerability management solutions," said Sean Tufts, practice director, IoT Security, Optiv.

"Our Unit 42 IoT threat research, based on analysis of 1.2 million devices, found that nearly 98 percent of IoT traffic is unencrypted and more than half of all IoT devices are susceptible to severe cyber-attacks."

"Optiv's Enterprise IoT Lab is a welcomed development."

"We're excited to be a part of Optiv's IoT lab to lend our converged IT/OT expertise in exploitation techniques and best practices to continue driving innovation in the IoT security space for our shared clients."
