IoT Detection in Fortinet refers to the process of identifying and securing Internet of Things (IoT) devices within a network to ensure they do not become entry points for cyberattacks. IoT devices, such as smart cameras, thermostats, and industrial sensors, are often vulnerable due to weak security features or lack of regular updates. Fortinet's IoT Detection technology helps organizations identify these devices on their network, monitor their behavior, and apply security policies to protect them.
Fortinet’s IoT Detection solution works by continuously scanning the network for new and existing IoT devices, classifying them based on their behavior and characteristics. It uses advanced techniques such as machine learning and deep packet inspection to detect unauthorized or suspicious IoT traffic. Once identified, these devices can be segregated into secure segments of the network, reducing the risk of them being exploited by attackers.
This solution is integrated with Fortinet’s broader security infrastructure, including FortiGate firewalls and FortiSIEM, allowing organizations to centralize their security monitoring and enforce policies across their entire network. Fortinet's IoT Detection also supports real-time alerts, providing administrators with actionable insights into potential vulnerabilities or attacks involving IoT devices.
By leveraging IoT Detection, businesses can minimize the security risks posed by the growing number of connected devices, ensuring a safer network environment while maintaining the functionality of IoT technologies.
