The growth of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices is transforming business operations, but it also presents significant security challenges. As these devices become more prevalent, ensuring their protection against cyber threats is vital.

To effectively secure IoT devices, your networking solution should encompass the following capabilities:

• Complete Visibility: Gain insight into all connected devices, including detailed information about manufacturers, firmware, and vulnerabilities.
• Effortless IoT Onboarding: Enable seamless integration of headless IoT devices through automated network access controls that set the right security posture.
• Solid Protection Measures: Use virtual patching to safeguard devices with known vulnerabilities without immediate software updates.
• Quarantine Functionality: Protect your network by isolating compromised devices to prevent potential threats from spreading.
• Automation of Security Tasks: Alleviate the burden on your IT team by automating onboarding, protection, and quarantine processes.
