Identify and Manage “Shadow Devices”
Enterprise
Connected devices are attractive targets for hackers and criminals. They can be anywhere, connected by anyone. But they can provide valuable data to help improve business outcomes.
Zingbox IoT Guardian is the first solution to bring IT best practices to non-traditional edge devices, addressing the challenges of protecting services, accelerating the convergence of IT and OT, and offering operational insights and compliance for the entire IoT lifecycle.
How Can You Benefit from Zingbox?
CIO
“Our traditional IT security doesn’t apply to IoT devices and networks, which lack basic visibility and protection.”
With Zingbox:
- Sophisticated device behavioral analysis (using ML/AI) for baselining and anomaly detection.
- Manage the entire IoT lifecycle.
- Use existing tools while making them device-aware.
CISO
“We lack insight into IoT device vulnerabilities. As a result, unprotected devices are a top security vulnerability for us.”
With Zingbox:
- Visibility and risk assessment of the entire IT network.
- Context-aware microsegmentation.
- Insight into real-time inventory.
- Uninterrupted, quality customer service.
LOB
“We’re unable to calibrate the number of IoT devices in operation. Plus, we lack insight into device location, usage, security, and more.”
With Zingbox:
- Visibility into device operation and communications (no agents req’d).
- Remediation suggestions to optimize equipment utilization.
- Drive down ownership and maintenance costs.
Enterprise Use Cases
DISCOVER
Visibility
Gain complete situational awareness with a dynamic, real-time and context-aware inventory containing a comprehensive record (vendor, model, serial number, operating system, and other parameters) of all your network-connected assets. Without resorting to software agents, IoT Guardian uses deep learning to automatically detect, identify, classify, and inventory connected IoT devices.
Microsegmentation
Transform your networks from scattered and manually provisioned IoT devices to a well-organized, micro-segmented one. With Zingbox, AI-derived device context is shared across the network fabric to enable dynamic segmentation for reduced risk exposure.
Zero-trust policies and compensating controls
Create policies for diverse groups of IoT devices based on their identities and context-of-use, while also applying principles of least privilege. Get recommendations for compensating controls that can protect your asset without decommissioning them.
PROTECT
Agent-less, signature-less IoT security
Unlike traditional endpoint security agents and signature-based preventative solutions, Zingbox IoT Guardian allows you to employ machine-learning algorithms for real-time threat detection, including the zero-day attacks.
Risk assessment and threat detection
Detect vulnerabilities through passive network analysis instead of using intrusive device probing methods to gather the security posture of a device. Plus, with Zingbox, you can trigger active vulnerability probing when the device is not in use.
Regulatory compliance
With sensitive information often flowing through the IoT infrastructure, auditors are taking increased interest in ensuring security and safety compliance. Zingbox helps you meet compliance requirements such as SOX or ISO, and allows you to monitor devices in real-time, maintaining an audit trail of configuration and behavioral changes for compliance reporting.
OPTIMIZE
Business efficiency metrics
Generate efficiency scores for your devices, departments and facilities to help your organization achieve maximum usage and reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO). This data also helps to reduce costs associated with temporary device rentals.
Service contract reporting
Organizations often have service agreements with vendors for remote monitoring, servicing and troubleshooting of assets. Since Zingbox monitors every network activity, you can view and report on these rendered services.
Enterprise Application Integration
Integrate with enterprise applications, such as IT, OT, and business intelligence. Align business process workflows with data flows to gain business efficiency and tackle complexity.
Zingbox IoT Guardian for Enterprise
Zingbox invented an IoT personality-based approach to IoT security that discerns each device’s behaviors, detects suspicious activities through self-learning, and enforces trust in all connected devices. Traditional security solutions focus on data protection; Zingbox goes further to provide service protection for business continuity.
By analyzing thousands of assets each day, Zingbox IOT Guardian is able to help enterprises optimize utilization and reduce the total cost of ownership. It can also share its data with an enterprise asset management solution so you can manage your IT and IoT assets from a single system.
