IIoT and IoMT hardware security is essential for protecting connected environments from hardware-based threats and unauthorized devices. As OT environments become more connected to IT networks and the internet, and IIoT and IoMT devices become integrated into operational environments, organizations need greater visibility into the hardware across their infrastructure.
Effective hardware security starts with discovering what is connected and verifying what each device actually is. From there, organizations can validate whether assets align with expected roles and policies, assess hardware risk in context, and enforce appropriate security controls.
This is particularly important in IIoT and IoMT environments, where unmanaged, unknown, dormant, or unexpected devices can create security blind spots. A device may be legitimate yet still present a risk if it appears in the wrong location, performs an unexpected role, or no longer aligns with organizational policy.
Sepio’s Zero Trust Hardware Access (ZTHA) approach extends these principles across five connected pillars: Discover, Verify, Validate, Assess, and Enforce. Together, they help organizations move from hardware visibility to verified device identity, contextual risk assessment, and informed security action.
At the Global Cyber Innovation Summit Virtual Event, Jessica Amado, Head of Cyber Research at Sepio, explores the challenges organizations face when enforcing hardware security across IIoT and IoMT environments. The session examines the importance of identifying connected hardware and strengthening defenses against hardware-based attacks.
With greater hardware visibility and device intelligence, organizations can move beyond asset discovery to establish trusted device identity, understand risk in context, and make more informed security decisions.
Turn Hardware Visibility into Action
Discover connected assets, verify their true identity, validate whether they belong, assess hardware risk, and enforce appropriate security controls across IT, OT, IIoT, and IoMT environments.
