The current device discovery solutions have been mainly focused on identifying and monitoring servers, workstation PCs, laptops and infrastructure devices such as network firewalls, switches and routers, because the most valuable information assets of organizations are being stored, processed and transferred over those devices, hence making them the prime target of security breaches and intrusions.

Accurate identification of connected device manufacturer, model name, device type, device end of life status, firmware version, and firmware release date.

IoTVAS can operate as a standalone IoT discovery and risk assessment solution or be integrated into existing IT asset discovery, network port scanners, and IT vulnerability scanning tools via IoTVAS REST API. IoT Discovery with IoTVAS. IoTVAS identifies devices based on fingerprints derived from device network service banners.

The device MAC address can also be used together with this fingerprint to improve detection accuracy, but it is not a requirement for IoTVAS, unlike the other device discovery solutions.

IoTVAS device discovery capability can also be integrated into the existing security tools via a REST API endpoint.

IoT security Audit with IoTVAS. Once a device maker, model and firmware version were identified, IoTVAS goes beyond just looking up the CVEs associated with the device and firmware version.
