The Problem
IoT is the new attack surface
Connected devices like cameras, barcode scanners, and smart thermostats are vulnerable to exploits. Difficult to patch and often with weak encryption and poor controls, they make attractive targets for attackers. Meanwhile, IT teams struggle to gain even basic visibility into their volume and diversity. Compromised IoT devices leave you exposed to cyberthreats, putting your users and critical infrastructure at risk. And with a lack of reliable device identity, context, and continuous assessment, traditional IoT security approaches fall short.
Solution Overview
See and secure your IoT landscape
Securing IoT begins with knowing which devices are connected to your network and what they’re doing. Zscaler IoT Device Visibility extends the power of the Zero Trust Exchange™ platform, using AI/ML to automatically detect, identify, and classify IoT devices across your estate.
Zscaler IoT Secure Internet Access uses Behavioral Identity to continuously analyze, classify, and protect IoT without relying on agents, certificates, or spoofable MAC addresses. This approach extends zero trust cyberthreat protection to all your IoT/OT devices.
Benefits

Solution Details
Device visibility
Discover and classify all IoT devices across your organization without intrusive agents, scanning, or sensors. Continuously profile devices with Behavioral Identity.
Secure internet access
Continuously enforce policy controls on IoT devices using Behavioral Identity. Automatically isolate compromised devices and prevent communication with command-and-control (C2) sites or data exfiltration.
Behavioral Identity
Using ML, analyze IoT device behavior and establish a baseline of normal activity. You can then detect anomalies and potential security threats by identifying deviations from this baseline.
Use Cases
See the full picture of your IoT environment
Analyze non-authenticated traffic to identify new or unauthorized IoT devices connected to the network. Eliminate blind spots with continuous monitoring that provides real-time insight into your IoT landscape.
Leverage AI/ML-based Behavioral Identity to automatically identify IoT device types based on activity and behavior, unlike traditional approaches that require manual processes or sensors. See device type, data consumed, apps used, and destinations visited, all in a single pane of glass.
Eliminate manual assessment, fragmented device context, and the need to deploy and manage sensors to collect data from IoT devices at every location.
Provide secure internet access to IoT devices through the Zero Trust Exchange platform, with complete advanced threat protection. Block compromised devices from communicating with command-and-control sites.

FAQs
IoT security solutions protect internet of things devices (e.g., connected cameras, ATMs, printers) and the networks they use. Despite their growing footprint worldwide, many IoT devices are designed with little regard for security. The resulting vulnerabilities can turn them into major security risks. Learn more.
Shadow IT is any device or SaaS app used without the knowledge or permission of the IT department. Although these things aren't necessarily dangerous by nature, shadow IT can harm an organization's security posture. Vulnerable devices and apps can be conduits for unauthorized access, often enabling ransomware and other malware. Learn more.
