The connected network is undergoing significant transformation! A proliferation of connected Smart IOT devices for (in)security cameras, building management, Audio/Video Systems, Printers, Badge Readers and Access Points are just some of the IOT devices on all of our networks. Let alone the industry specific connected devices across manufacturing, healthcare, SCADA and other verticals which have their own alphabet soup of IOT and MOT assets. The Intelligent network must be able to identify, classify and integrate with the networks, security controls and data center deployments to securely allow the whitelisted application flows, while blocking unauthorized and malicious traffic. This challenge is amplified in that many of the applications which used to live inside of our physical data centers have migrated to the cloud or Software as a Service offerings requiring Smart IOT devices needing access to internet and cloud resources. Without proper security controls in place, IOT devices can and will be an entry point of malware infection and breach of our computer networks. Tools do exist allowing for dynamic profiling and monitoring of our physical and virtual network giving visibility and access controls back into the hands of IT. In this Session you will learn strategies & best practices for actively monitoring and enforcing dynamic access controls on the network with automated integrations across network & security controls.
