What is Zero Trust for OT en IoT
Due to the vast network of connections between all your devices, machines and controllers, any one of them could potentially be targeted by attackers. Most of these devices were not designed with security in mind, so traditional security approaches using agents and multi-factor authentication (MFA) do not work.
IoT malware attacks have increased by 45%, with a rise in malicious payloads. Outdated network architectures allow malware to easily move from connected devices to ‘crown jewel applications’ or infect critical OT assets, leading to ransomware attacks that can disrupt your business and put your staff at risk.
Why choose a Zero Trust solution for your OT and IoT, and what are the benefits for your organization?
