Unmanaged Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), and operational technology (OT) devices make up more than 30% of the devices on enterprise networks.1 Organizations require these devices to enable their business, yet they cannot trust them. IoT devices pose immense cybersecurity risks as they are largely unregulated. In fact, 57% of these devices, which often ship with their own vulnerabilities, are susceptible to medium- or highseverity attacks2—especially concerning when they are network-connected with unfettered access. Security teams, rarely involved in purchasing, find it extremely challenging to secure these devices due to their incredibly diverse builds, long lifecycles, and lack of coverage from traditional security controls.
