Common IoT devices include security cameras, industrial lighting systems, and manufacturing controllers managed by a web-based solution.

Some commonly overlooked IoT devices include multi-function printers, security scanners, and inventory scanners.

There's rarely a good reason for unmanaged, or even managed, IoT devices to reside on the same logical network as end-user devices and servers.

Layer 3 network isolation allows the use of existing access control lists on routers and traditional firewalls to control the flow of communication between IoT devices and the production network.

The approach allows for mitigation of risk associated with IoT devices attacking production systems, such as workstations and servers.
