The IoT and OT environments

Figure 4.1 is a diagrammatic representation of IoT and OT environments in organizations, which might then be connected to an IoT hub for the further processing of data. Azure IoT Hub receives data from both OT and Enterprise IoT (EIoT) environments, as depicted in the following figure:

Figure 4.1 – Representation of IoT and OT environments

Let us look into agentless device inventory. The issue that the industry is trying to solve is keeping OT/IoT devices up to date, but in reality, they are unpatched, and IT teams have no insight into the status of the devices, whether they are patched or not. Additionally, these OT/IoT devices do not support agents. It is, hence, important to understand specialized protocols used by IoT/OT devices and machine-to-machine behaviors to be able to use agentless monitoring using MDIoT. Thus, it provides security and visibility into the organization’s network.
