Introduction to IT/OT asset discovery, vulnerability management, and threat detection
Accelerate digital transformation with comprehensive security across your IoT/OT infrastructure. Microsoft Defender for IoT offers agentless network detection and response (NDR) that is rapidly deployed, works with diverse IoT, OT, and industrial control system (ICS) devices, and interoperates with Microsoft 365 Defender, Microsoft Sentinel, and external security operations center (SOC) tools. Deploy on-premises or via cloud. For IoT device builders, Defender for IoT offers lightweight agents for stronger device-layer security.
IT/OT asset discovery, vulnerability management, and threat detection description
Use passive, agentless network monitoring to safely gain a complete inventory of all your IoT/OT assets, with zero impact on IoT/OT performance. Analyze diverse and proprietary industrial protocols to visualize your IoT/OT network topology and see communication paths, and then use that information to accelerate network segmentation and zero trust initiatives. Identify equipment details such as manufacturer, device type, serial number, firmware level, and backplane layouts. Quickly identify the root cause of operational issues such as misconfigured devices and networks.
Proactively address vulnerabilities in your IoT/OT environment. Identify risks such as missing patches, open ports, unauthorized applications, and unauthorized subnet connections. Detect changes to device configurations, controller logic, and firmware. Prioritize fixes based on risk scoring and automated threat modeling, which identifies and visualizes the most likely attack paths for adversaries to compromise your most critical or crown jewel assets.
Monitor for anomalous or unauthorized activity using IoT/OT-aware behavioral analytics and threat intelligence. Strengthen IoT/OT zero trust security by instantly detecting unauthorized remote access and unauthorized or compromised devices. Rapidly triage real-time alerts, investigate historical traffic, and hunt for threats. Catch modern threats like zero-day malware and living-off-the-land tactics missed by static indicators of compromise (IOCs). Explore full-fidelity packet captures (PCAPs) for deeper analysis.
