IoT is everywhere. From hospital beds to oil pipelines, smart thermostats to power grid sensors, the explosion of connected devices has outpaced traditional IT. Now we have to secure wearables, automation sensors, diagnostic tools, and infrastructure-critical systems. Many of them lack even basic security controls like antivirus or identity management, and they can't support an agent. That’s why visibility and control at the device level is no longer optional. At Forescout’s research lab in the Netherlands, we put real-world IoT devices to the test. The (not surprising) results? Many are vulnerable, and the risks are real. Forescout helps organizations secure every connected thing with: ✔️ Complete device visibility ✔️Automated segmentation ✔️Zero Trust enforcement ✔️Real-time threat detection Want to see how it works? https://lnkd.in/gMNkiFA5 #CyberResilience #IoTSecurity #ZeroTrust #Forescout #NetworkVisibility #SmartInfrastructure
Most of the time when we think about IT we think about corporate networks for computers. But today... there are more IoT things than IT things. - Smart city systems - Oil pipeline sensors - Wearable medical trackers - Manufacturing automation sensors - Hospital patient monitoring systems - Remote diagnostic equipment - Agricultural IoT devices - Power grid sensors - Smart thermostats ...... to name JUST a few. And unlike laptops or phones, they don’t get antivirus patching or identity management. I had the chance to travel to Forescout’s research lab in the Netherlands, where they test IOT devices to see how secure they actually are. With device-level visibility, segmentation, and zero trust, the attack stops at the source. - No blind spots. - No unchecked access. - The network stays secure.
