Zero Trust Security Leader Brings Lightweight, Easy-to-Use IoT Security Capabilities to the Enterprise and Mid-Market\u00a0<\/h2>

Austin, TX \u2013 October 12, 2022 \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>Portnox,<\/a>\u00a0a proven leader in cloud-native, zero trust access and endpoint security solutions, today announced the general availability of the first cloud-native IoT security solution<\/a> to help mid-market and enterprise businesses address rising Internet of Things (IoT) security threats. Now available via the Portnox Cloud, Portnox\u2019s new IoT fingerprinting and profiling capabilities empower organizations to easily and accurately identify, authenticate, authorize, and segment IoT devices across their network to ensure an effective zero trust security posture.<\/p>

\u201cNo organization is immune to the inherent and increasing number of security risks IoT devices pose as they are more susceptible to vulnerabilities and, therefore, prime targets for cyberattacks. Companies of all sizes must properly secure these devices to prevent them from serving as a gateway onto the corporate network by cybercriminals. But as networks become more complex and distributed, and as the number of IoT devices continues to grow, it\u2019s becoming more and more difficult to identify and control access for these devices across a given network, let alone secure them,\u201d said Denny LeCompte, CEO at Portnox.\u00a0 \u201cAs we bring our vision of simplifying access control and endpoint security for mid-market IT teams to fruition, adding a solution for IoT fingerprinting \u00a0to our cloud-native platform was the natural next step. Portnox now gives customers full visibility of IoT devices in use across their respective networks.\u201d<\/p>

Juniper Research<\/a> predicts that the total number of IoT connections will surge to 83 billion by 2024, while Ponemon Institute<\/a> found that most (94 percent) organizations think that a security incident related to unsecured IoT devices or applications could be \u201ccatastrophic\u201d. Large enterprises are not alone when it comes to rising IoT security headaches \u2013 organizations of all sizes are actively trying to strengthen their security postures to account for the surge of threats tied to the rising operational dependence on IoT. With so many\u00a0IoT\u00a0devices \u2013 printers, cameras, thermostats, sensors, monitors, etc. \u2013 now in use across all types of organizations, the ability to automatically onboard and enforce IoT device authentication, control and security policies across the network is mission critical.<\/p>

Already helping more than 1,000 organizations navigate ever-changing cybersecurity threats, Portnox solutions are purpose-built to be exceptionally easy-to-use, scale, and manage. With the addition of IoT fingerprinting and profiling to the Portnox Cloud, Portnox customers can now enjoy enhanced confidence in the security posture of their network with respect to IoT \u2013 without the cost and resource demands associated with traditional on-premise IoT security solutions that can often be complex to configure, deploy, and maintain.<\/p>

With the latest solution expansion, the Portnox Cloud now provides organizations with:<\/p>
