IoT & OT Asset Visibility and Security: Protecting the Invisible Attack Surface
Industrial environments, smart buildings, healthcare systems, and critical infrastructure all share one growing challenge: IoT and OT devices that were never built with security in mind.
You cannot secure what you cannot see.
The IoT & OT Security Problem
IoT and OT environments often suffer from:
Unknown or unmanaged devices
Legacy systems with no patching capability
Flat networks with no segmentation
Lack of real-time monitoring
Attackers increasingly target these environments because they offer high impact with low resistance.
Asset Visibility Is the First Line of Defense
Effective IoT/OT security starts with:
Passive discovery of all connected devices
Device fingerprinting and classification
Behavioral baselining
Risk-based segmentation
Why This Matters
A compromised OT device doesn’t just leak data — it can:
Stop production lines
Damage equipment
Impact human safety
Final Thought
IoT & OT security is no longer optional — it is operational risk management.
