IoT Protect Solution Brief
Check Point IoT Protect
Prevent. Adapt. Everywhere.
AN EVER-EXPANDING ATTACK SURFACE
Integrated into every aspect of our lives, internet of things (IoT) devices and operational technology (OT) assets automate and streamline operations. Yet every time a smart device is added to our network, it expands your attack surface. This is because connected devices are inherently vulnerable and easy to hack. This explains why 67% of enterprises have already experienced an IoT-related security incident, carried out to infiltrate enterprise networks or for the purpose of device manipulation or destruction.
EASY TO HACK, HARD TO PATCH
And while IoT environments have become increasingly complex, IT security solutions have remained far behind, with limited visibility and control over IoT devices and their associated risks.
When it comes to securing these devices, the challenge lies in the huge variety of communication protocols they deploy, and the fact that they are inherently vulnerable due to several reasons:
- Unsecured communication protocols
- Difficult to patch
- Physically accessible
- OS misconfigurations
- No built-in security
- Run on legacy OSs
- Hardcoded or weak passwords
CHECK POINT IoT PROTECT
Encompassing network- and device-level IoT security, Check Point IoT Protect prevents IoT cyber attacks, adapting protections to any IoT or OT device across smart-office, smart-building, healthcare and industrial environments. Delivering zero-trust policy tailored per device, IoT Protect uses real time threat intelligence, 60 innovative security services, and on-device runtime protection to deliver a complete, end-to-end prevention-first strategy for an evolving cyberphysical attack surface.
