安全性一直是一个棘手的话题，但在IoT时代，保护您的数据和资产的挑战比过去任何时候都更加巨大。
数字化生态合作体系比过去更加复杂，保护该体系的安全工作也变得更加复杂。过去保护周边是重点，而现在形势已大不相同，目前，网络是分散和模块化的。移动性、云和最近新兴的物联网使网络远远超出了企业数据中心的范围。 移动和IoT设备引入大量的接入点，每个接入点又引入了大量不安全的数据流。
因此，IT人员和安全团队面临前所未有的压力。攻击和破坏来自各个方面，为日益增长的资产带来了损害。然而，如果使用正确的工具和策略，您可以保护您的IT基础设施，及时检测（和解决）问题，避免这些问题演变为灾难，减少停机时间并提高性能。
- Implement detailed security policies. Having a strong security policy engine in place provides the fine-toothed ability to define rules that can limit access based on time of day, the device being used, and a long list of other factors. Digital infrastructures must validate data, behavior and destinations, and respond automatically to threats.
- Get IoT-ready, because enterprise IoT adoption is a matter of when, not if. Superior IoT security means optimizing your infrastructure and beefing up granular control, including the ability to establish separate containers on your existing network.
- Identify code vulnerabilities. Minimize network vulnerabilities. As the sophistication of network devices has grown, they have become more attractive targets for cyber attackers, who can exploit the increasing volumes of software contained in every point of access. Switch-level solutions such as Independent Verification and Validation (IVV) and software diversification can minimize the likelihood of a breach by removing vulnerabilities and ensuring no two switches share the same executable memory map within a network, while a technology like deep packet inspection can block device-generated traffic it deems to be malicious.
- Set up strong access controls: as one of the best layers of network defense, they've never been more necessary. It's critical to authorize users or devices before connecting them to network assets, quarantine suspicious activity and run health checks on devices for additional protection.
