Download Solution Brief

Overview

The FortiGuard IoT Detection Service helps significantly reduce your attack surface by discovering, identifying, and protecting Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices in your environment. The service includes a local (installed) library of IoT devices that is regularly expanded and updated.

How the FortiGuard IoT Detection Service Works

With the FortiGuard IoT Detection Service complementing the FortiGuard IPS Service, your organization can discover, identify, and protect against attacks targeting IoT devices. In addition, Fortinet is able to analyze and deploy new IoT IPS signatures in near real-time for coordinated network response.

Multiply this workflow across Fortinet’s global customer base and you have a network effect that accelerates protection for IoT devices faster than ever.

FortiGuard IoT Detection Service Use Cases

Today’s IoT cyberthreats dictate that an IoT IPS do more to protect an expanding network edge. The FortiGuard IoT Detection Service takes traditional IoT IPS capabilities to the next level, providing coverage for the following use cases.

Discover IoT Devices

Discover and identify IoT devices connected to your network to understand the risk they pose to your organization.

Detect Threats

Apply specialized controls such as intrusion prevention for deep packet inspection to detect and block malicious threats targeting IoT devices.

Virtually Patch

Detect and block network traffic targeting an IoT device vulnerability as if a vendor patch was deployed. Virtual patching provides a critical control to mitigate IoT security risks.
