How State and Local Governments Can Secure IoT Devices

Start With Accurate Asset Discovery and Device Inventory Asset discovery is one of the first problems governments need to solve.

Connected devices that stay online for years without timely firmware updates pose significant and unnecessary IoT security risks to government networks.

Strengthen Network Security Through Device Segmentation After agencies identify their connected devices, they need to control how those devices communicate.

Third-party contractors may require remote access for maintenance, which makes identity and access controls part of the device security problem.

That planning should also govern connected device purchases.
