Higher Education Solution Brief
- How can universities discover all IoT and medical devices across distributed campus networks?
- ORDR uses automated discovery and classification to identify all connected IoT, OT, and IoMT assets without manual inventory work. This eliminates blind spots across thousands of devices in dispersed campus environments, giving security teams complete visibility they previously lacked.
- What are the primary attack vectors targeting IoT devices in higher education institutions?
- Ransomware and credential-based attacks are the primary threats targeting IoT and medical devices on campus networks. ORDR's approach identifies these specific attack vectors by understanding device types and their unique vulnerabilities, enabling teams to prioritize and remediate the highest-risk assets first.
- How do you enforce consistent security policies across different types of connected devices?
- ORDR enables security teams to implement consistent controls institution-wide by classifying devices by type and function, then applying tailored policies appropriate for IoT, OT, and IoMT systems. This approach ensures no device class falls through the cracks and allows rapid response when threats are detected.
