5 Steps to Zero Trust for Unmanaged and IoT Devices
Learn a practical five-step framework for extending Zero Trust principles to unmanaged and IoT devices that typically fall outside traditional security controls. Discover how to implement continuous verification, establish dynamic security policies, and enforce consistent access controls across heterogeneous device environments. This whitepaper provides actionable guidance for organizations struggling to secure devices they don't directly manage.
What you'll learn

5 Steps to Zero Trust for Unmanaged and IoT Devices
- How do you implement Zero Trust when you don't manage the IoT devices on your network?
- ORDR's framework enables Zero Trust for unmanaged devices through continuous verification and dynamic security policies that don't require device management agents. By establishing real-time visibility and adaptive access controls based on device risk posture, organizations can enforce consistent security across heterogeneous environments regardless of management capabilities.
- What's the difference between Zero Trust for traditional IT vs. IoT/OT devices?
- Traditional Zero Trust assumes you can deploy agents and manage device configurations, but IoT/OT devices often lack these capabilities. ORDR's approach focuses on network-level enforcement, continuous monitoring, and dynamic policies that work with legacy and non-traditional devices that fall outside standard security controls.
- Can Zero Trust policies automatically adapt when an IoT device's risk changes?
- Yes, ORDR's dynamic security policies automatically adjust based on real-time device behavior and risk assessment changes. This continuous adaptation ensures access controls remain aligned with current threat levels without requiring manual policy updates for each device.
