Although conventional cloud security is becoming increasingly difficult to implement and maintain, IoT security is an order of magnitude tougher.
IoT security has all the challenges of conventional security — including injection vulnerabilities, exploitable firmware, missing patches and good, old-fashioned weak passwords — multiplied several times over, across a mongrel mix of hardware and protocols.
To address these challenges, numerous vendors offer IoT security products that tackle security with fresh approaches.
Here’s an overview of offerings from five of these IoT security vendors.
Armis Inc. The Armis IoT security product is agentless, which means it doesn’t depend on a background software agent.
Armis tracks the behavior of all devices — regardless of whether they’re under IT management — in real time, so the platform can automatically stop inappropriate behavior or attacks before they occur.
The product doesn’t wait until a questionable behavior occurs in the network to focus on a particular device under attack — it’s always watching.
Centri Technology Centri takes a completely different approach to advanced IoT security.
The company’s software-only platform offers standards-based security tools for software developers, enabling them to easily embed strong encryption, cache mapping and resilient algorithms in system endpoints.
Centri trims the DIY security effort while delivering a flexible and easily maintained result.
A potential downside is Fortinet’s reliance on its own application-specific integrated circuit for its fabric implementation, but the upside is stellar performance that wouldn’t be possible in a pure software IoT security product.
IoT security will grow more complex as the digital ecosphere expands.
Vdoo Security Startup Vdoo, which is the result of an investment by Dell Technology Capital and funding by WRVI Capital and GGV Capital, is touted as the industry’s only true end-to-end IoT security product
