Security Starts with Visibility - Gigamon
This webinar explores how visibility into your IoT and OT assets forms the foundation of effective cybersecurity. Learn why traditional IT security approaches fall short for connected device environments and how to establish comprehensive asset inventory practices. Discover methods to identify shadow devices, assess risk exposure, and build actionable security programs based on what you actually know about your network.
What you'll learn
- Identify all connected devices on your network using advanced discovery and monitoring techniques
- Assess risk exposure by categorizing assets and understanding their criticality to operations
- Build a foundational asset inventory program that supports ongoing vulnerability and compliance management
Frequently asked questions
- Why is asset visibility important for IoT and OT cybersecurity?
- Asset visibility forms the foundation of effective cybersecurity because you cannot protect what you don't know exists. Traditional IT security approaches fail in connected device environments where shadow devices, legacy systems, and undocumented assets create blind spots that attackers exploit. ORDR's approach emphasizes comprehensive discovery to identify all connected devices and establish risk-based priorities.
- How can organizations identify shadow devices on their network?
- Shadow devices are discovered through advanced monitoring and discovery techniques that detect devices communicating on the network regardless of whether they're documented in IT systems. ORDR helps organizations implement continuous asset monitoring that reveals undocumented IoT and OT devices, allowing security teams to catalog everything actually connected to their infrastructure.
- What should a foundational asset inventory program include?
- A strong asset inventory program categorizes devices by criticality to operations, assesses their risk exposure, and documents dependencies and vulnerabilities. ORDR's framework ensures your inventory supports ongoing vulnerability management and compliance requirements, transforming raw device data into actionable security intelligence.
