IoT Policy Provisioning

Overview

As we increasingly connect devices to the Internet, new opportunities to exploit potential security vulnerabilities grow. Any unknown devices including IoT devices could serve as entry points for cyberattack by allowing malicious individuals to re-program a device or cause it to malfunction. The IoT devices are being added to corporate networks with or without the knowledge of IT administrator and they may communicate using the corporate IP network. These devices may have limited security controls leaving them open to be used as an attack vector. To improve security posture of IoT devices in corporate network, visibility and Role Based Access Control play a key role. Hence, it’s extremely important to detect and classify what’s there on the network.

Pulse Policy Secure(PPS) along with Profiler enables you to secure and manage access to IoT devices. It allows you to configure IoT Access Policy based on discovered or profiled device category. It also allows you to dynamically configure resource access policies for newly discovered devices and map user's role-based access to specific category and manufacturer or profile group of IoT devices.
