Secure IoT Device Management

REDUCE YOUR ‘ATTACK SURFACE’ BY ENSURING YOUR IoT DEVICES ARE SECURE

 

Secure IoT device management focuses on protecting your internet-enabled devices that connect to each other on wireless networks. With some six billion devices in use – and rapidly growing due to 5G and the ever increasing demand for data – unauthorised access to your networks can happen where ever the devices are - creating multiple ‘doors’ that need to be secured.

IoT DEVICES CAN CREATE ENORMOUS BUSINESS BENEFIT – SO KEEP THEM SAFE

 

Securing IoT devices can be more complicated than securing a laptop or even a mobile phone, as many of these devices are not designed with security in mind. How you deploy your devices and what they connect to can often make them more vulnerable than the manufacturer’s built-in security can cope with.

 

IoT devices have proliferated across virtually all industries along with the uptake of digital, and are creating rich and valuable data assets. However, many devices suffer from outdated systems, unpatched vulnerabilities and unsecured data, and the increasingly connected nature of networks (including devices, communication channels and applications) presents an ever widening attack surface for hackers.

WE MAKE IT SIMPLE TO GET PROTECTED

 

At Optic we have a team of trained and licensed Cyber Specialists who know everything from cracking into your smart printer or Wifi from the carpark through to deploying ‘sniffers’ on your network traffic. In plain business English, they can talk you through how best to manage your IoT devices and the networks they connect to.

 

This knowledge is critical because there are big differences between IoT devices, and securing them depends on the type and model of the device. Inside an office building, a smart bulb will be from a different manufacturer than the smart printer; and the overall controlling system that runs through the office will have its own unique operating system. 

 

To effectively secure these disparate IoT devices, an overarching multi-layered security plan and constant maintenance is necessary.

 

FOLLOW BEST PRACTICE, STAY UP TO DATE, TRAIN YOUR TEAMS

 

Firstly we’ll understand what you use IoT for

  • By understanding your business aims and use of IoT devices and the types of information they give you, Optic can ensure that whatever security measures we design don’t interfere with how you work.  

We’ll audit and map out all the IoT and mobile devices you use

  • Optic access specialists will survey your building and all access points in conjunction with any existing security measures.

Review of recommendations and options

  • Optic will discuss with your team the recommended approach to your IoT security management, any software or hardware you might need and why, and we’ll also help explain how to train your security staff in best practice for your IoT growth and management.

Security Advisory

 

Be vigilant. There has been an increase in reports of false billing scams. If you have received an email with an invoice purporting to be from us, call your Optic Security Group contact person to confirm if it is legitimate. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s National Anti-Scam Centre has reported a 25% increase in losses incurred by Australians from false billing scams in the July-September 2023 quarter compared to the same period last year. This is despite an overall 16% decrease in losses across scam categories.

 

Payment redirection scams are the most prevalent type of false billing scams. These involve scammers impersonating a business or its employees via email and requesting that money, which usually is owed to the legitimate business, is paid into a fraudulent account. For further information, visit the National Anti-Scam Centre website at https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/.   

 

Optic Security Group will never advise a change of bank details via email. If you have received an email with an invoice purporting to be from us, call your Optic Security Group contact to confirm if it is legitimate.
