Industry 4.0 unlocks huge opportunities—and new challenges
Eliminate complexity, increase business agility, and reduce risk with secure networking and segmentation solutions for IoT/OT devices in branches, campuses, and factories.
The Problem
IoT/OT is the new attack surface
In today's interconnected operations, every one of your devices, machines, and controllers can be a target for attackers. Most of these devices weren't designed with security in mind, and traditional security approaches—using agents and MFA—don't work.
IoT malware attacks have risen 45%, with an increase in malicious payloads. Legacy network architectures let malware easily move from connected devices to crown jewel apps or infect critical OT assets, leading to ransomware attacks that can disrupt your business and endanger your personnel.
Solution Overview
Secure your IoT and OT with zero trust
Zscaler IoT and OT Security solutions can help your organization discover, classify, connect, and segment devices to protect your operations. Avoid the complexity of firewalls, ACLs, NAC, and device agents with the power of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ platform.

Discover and classify
Identify and tag all IoT/OT devices in your organization using AL/ML-powered behavioral identity and risk classification.
Segment and secure
Isolate every device into a “network of one” and securely connect to the internet and private apps, without exposed ports, firewalls, or agents.
Manage and supervise
Enable privileged remote access to IoT/OT devices for remote management, with full cybersecurity and governance controls.

FAQ
FAQ
IoT security protects internet of things devices (connected devices like cameras, ATMs, and printers) and the networks they use. Many IoT devices are designed with little regard for security, and the resulting vulnerabilities make IoT a growing security risk for organizations worldwide. Learn more.
OT security protects operational technology (OT) systems—which use purpose-built software to automate industrial processes—against cyberthreats. As IT/OT convergence improves automation and efficiency in industrial systems, OT security has become an essential part of safe, resilient operations. Learn more.
