What Is Microsoft Defender for IoT?
Microsoft Defender for IoT (MDIoT) empowers IT and OT teams to identify critical vulnerabilities and detect threats using behavioral analytics along with Machine Learning (ML) that is IT/OT aware. All this happens while also ensuring that performance and availability are not compromised.
It provides a centralized interface to manage the threats and vulnerabilities affecting the ever-increasing attack surface in the IoT/OT world.
MDIoT also provides network-layer monitoring that is agentless and can integrate seamlessly with industrial equipment from various vendors and SOC tools.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- The IoT and OT environments
- The role of asset inventory
- Risk and vulnerability management
- Continuous threat monitoring
- Operational efficiency
- MDIoT benefits
