IoT\/OT Security<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\n
\n\t\t

Cato IoT\/OT Security extends protection to IoT and OT environments, providing real-time device discovery and classification, granular policy enforcement, and comprehensive threat prevention. As a native feature of the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, Cato IoT\/OT Security eliminates complex integration and simplifies management.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n \n

Instant Device Discovery and Classification<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n
\n\t\t

Cato IoT\/OT Security, natively built into the Cato SASE Cloud platform, delivers instant, effortless visibility across IT, IoT, and OT environments with no integration required. Purpose-built and trained AI and ML fingerprint devices on the network, mapping their type, manufacturer, and version. Eliminating IoT\/OT blind spots enables a complete understanding of this critical attack surface and serves as a foundation for a robust IoT\/OT security strategy.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

Granular Policy Enforcement<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n
\n\t\t

A complete IoT\/OT Security strategy requires more than visibility, and IT teams need the ability to efficiently control IoT\/OT device access to internal and external resources. Cato IoT\/OT Security empowers IT teams to achieve this. Access policies can be set based on specific device characteristics or, for efficiency, based on grouping by type, manufacturer, or model. Controlling IoT\/OT network access helps secure the enterprise network and dramatically reduce the attack surface.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

Holistic Threat Prevention<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n
\n\t\t

Beyond policy enforcement, Cato IoT\/OT Security benefits from the threat prevention capabilities of the Cato SASE Cloud platform. Cato’s Threat Prevention leverages multiple advanced security engines, such as IPS, NGAM, DNS security and inline AI\/ML, to safeguard IoT\/OT devices against known and zero-day threats. Enterprises benefit from advanced prevention that help reduce their risk.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

Simplified Management<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n
\n\t\t

Cato IoT\/OT Security is a native feature of the Cato Management Application (CMA). All dashboards and reports are consistent with other capabilities in the CMA and the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, eliminating learning a new interface and accelerating time-to-value. Policies, logs, events and objects such as devices, manufacturers, models, users, and sites are consistently presented throughout the CMA. This consistency enables IT teams to easily identify and understand IoT\/OT incidents without the need to move between different dashboards across multiple solutions.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

Security Products Sprawl Elimination<\/h2>\n\t\t

IoT and OT security traditionally meant deployment and integration of multiple hardware and software solutions. This approach oftentimes introduces complexity, creates security gaps and adds network latency. With Cato IoT\/OT Security being a native part of the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, all IoT\/OT security requirements are addressed by a single cloud-delivered solution that converges and optimizes security and networking. This unified approach eliminates complexity of traditional solutions and provides robust security without operational overhead.<\/h4>\n\t<\/header>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
