The rise of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and IoT hardware has introduced significant flexibility and operational benefits for enterprises. However, this convenience comes at a cost, IoT and cybersecurity are now deeply intertwined. Unauthorized or compromised devices often operate undetected within enterprise environments, creating hidden vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cyber attackers.
IoT and Cybersecurity Risks
The increasing number of connected devices in the workplace expands the attack surface, making organizations more vulnerable than ever. IoT and cybersecurity risks grow exponentially as endpoints proliferate. Unmonitored or rogue devices can bypass traditional security controls, exploit network weaknesses, and expose sensitive data, posing serious threats to organizational resilience.
Why Asset Visibility is Essential for IoT and Cybersecurity
Security teams cannot protect what they cannot see. Traditional tools often fail to detect unauthorized IoT hardware, leaving blind spots that can be exploited. Strong IoT and cybersecurity practices require full visibility into all connected assets, networked or peripheral. Without it, organizations are unable to detect abnormal behavior and stop threats at the hardware level.
Identify and Classify IoT Assets with Sepio
Sepio now integrated with Cortex XSOAR, provides unparalleled visibility and control over every hardware asset. Sepio enables real-time identification, classification, and policy enforcement across IT, OT, and IoT devices. This is a major advancement in IoT and cybersecurity, empowering SOC teams to uncover covert hardware threats and take fast, informed action.
Automate IoT and Cybersecurity Workflows with Cortex XSOAR
The Sepio content pack on the Cortex XSOAR Marketplace allows you to automate response workflows for unauthorized devices. With pre-built playbooks, your SOC can quickly identify threats, enforce security policies, and block high-risk IoT assets, streamlining your IoT and cybersecurity defense strategy with greater efficiency.
Reduce Hardware Risks with Scoring and Policy Enforcement
Sepio’s hardware risk scoring provides valuable insight into the threat potential of each connected device. When combined with Cortex XSOAR’s orchestration, organizations can assess, prioritize, and respond to threats with precision. This integration strengthens your IoT and cybersecurity posture by ensuring that no device goes unchecked or unmanaged.
Blind spots are the enemy of effective IoT and cybersecurity protection. By combining Sepio’s device visibility with XSOAR’s orchestration, organizations can close these gaps, reduce response time, and take proactive measures against hardware-based attacks. The result: more secure endpoints and a significantly improved risk posture.
