Microsoft looks to secure IoT and hybrid cloud workloads against evolving attacks with Azure Security Center for IoT, a product offering end-to-end security, from sensor to cloud, for both Microsoft and 3rd party devices.
According to Bain & Company, the top concern for organisations considering IoT projects is security, leading to delays in IoT rollouts. IoT installations stretch from the smallest sensor through the network to the cloud, meaning piecemeal security products leave too many gaps. In contrast, Azure Security Center for IoT promises unified visibility and control, adaptive threat prevention and intelligent threat detection and response across workloads running on edge, on-premises, in Azure and other clouds.
Microsoft secure-by-design IoT service provides a foundation to offer threat protection and security posture management. Leveraging the Azure IoT Hub, organisations can prevent, detect and remediate potential attacks against every link in the IoT project chain. Threats to device configurations, cloud service and the admin account can be rejected.
Azure Security Center for IoT is available now.
