- First, they should assess which devices pose the greatest risk and take steps to mitigate those risks accordingly.
- Second, they should consider implementing a segmentation strategy to isolate critical systems from less-secure ones.
- Third, they should deploy advanced security solutions such as firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems specifically designed for protecting against attacks on IoT devices.
Network Access Control (NAC).
NAC is a type of endpoint security that allows you to control which devices can access your network. NAC can be used to enforce policies such as requiring all devices to have antivirus software installed and up to date. NAC can also be used to quarantine devices that do not meet your security standards, preventing them from accessing the network until they are patched or upgraded.
Application Whitelisting/Blacklisting.
Application whitelisting is a type of endpoint security that allows you to control which applications are allowed to run on a device. Whitelisting can be used to prevent unauthorized or malicious software from running on a device. Blacklisting can be used to block specific applications from running on a device.
Device Management.
Device management is a type of endpoint security that allows you to manage and monitor the devices that are connected to your network. Device management can be used to track which devices are accessing your network, what they are doing, and when they are doing it. Device management can also be used to remotely wipe data from a lost or stolen device, or remotely lock a device if it is lost or stolen.
