    Overview

    Microsoft Defender for IoT is a specialized asset discovery, vulnerability management, and threat monitoring solution for IoT/OT environments. Defender for IoT is an open system that also works with tools such as Splunk, IBM QRadar, and ServiceNow.

    In the past, industrial control systems weren’t considered high risk for cyberattacks because they weren’t connected to enterprise systems or the internet.
    Today, the use of common technology platforms, IT/OT data sharing, and cloud-based applications and analytics have made OT and IoT systems a primary target for threat actors. CIOs and CISOs are now expected to protect the entire IT/OT landscape, including all physical assets and industrial processes. To achieve this, OT and IoT security needs to be part of an overall digital security strategy managed by a collaborative IT/OT team.
