Jim Hyman, CEO of Ordr – A leader with over three decades of experience building and managing world-class teams in enterprise software and SaaS businesses

Digitally connected devices and applications are encroaching every aspect of our lives, be it our homes, offices, cars or even our bodies. All objects are turning smart to be able to harness the benefits of being connected to the internet. The era of Internet of Things (IoT) is booming at an ever-expanding rate. But as with every good thing, there’s a downside to IoT: It is becoming an increasingly attractive target for cybercriminals. More connected devices mean more attack vectors and more possibilities for hackers to target us; unless we move fast to address this rising security concern, we’ll soon be facing an inevitable disaster. It is very crucial for every organization to secure their connected devices. IoT security is important because it is the backbone of the internet. IoT devices are connected to each other and they are all connected to the internet. This means that if someone hacks into one of these devices, they can hack into all of them. IoT security protects our privacy and data, and it also helps protect our homes. The need of IoT security is achieved by using different methods like encryption, authentication, authorization, etc. As we slowly see IoT becoming mainstream, with companies like Google, Cisco, IBM, Intel, and others leading the revolution, IoT will soon change the way we live, work, travel, and more. Security by design is an approach to software and hardware development where security is built in from the beginning and not as a late addition after a hacking incident.

Ordr is one such firm that provides enterprises with complete visibility and exhaustive control over every unmanaged device IoT, IoMT, and OT. Ordr uses deep packet inspection, API integrations, and application decoding techniques to identify, classify, and gain granular context for all devices. Device context is combined with insights from network topology, Active Directory, and threat intelligence for the most complete profile of every connected asset, whether it’s an infusion pump, surveillance camera, or manufacturing sensor. Within minutes, discover every asset in your environment with no agents required. Unlike active scanning, Ordr passive discovery will not impact your mission-critical connected devices. Gain visibility, risk insights, and automated policies, and with more than 50 integrations, Ordr makes it easy to keep your connected enterprise secure.

Leveraging Best-in-Class IoT Security Solutions

Ordr Healthcare: The healthcare industry is continuously on the leading edge of innovation, significantly improving the quality and delivery of care at an accelerating pace. An accelerated development pace means a growing number of devices in the network, all of which must be secured. Ordr is the leader in IoT security for Healthcare. The firm offers a “whole hospital” approach that secures all connected devices IoT, IoMT, and operational technologies that are critical to the patient care experience. The firm offers one platform with comprehensive features that serves security teams, networking teams and clinical technicians. Its platform can identify high-risk devices with vulnerabilities and legacy operating systems. It identifies active exploits using integrated intrusion detection engine and alert on malicious device communications. Use the Ordr Policy Generator to proactively create segmentation policies to isolate high-risk devices.

Ordr Enterprise: IoT devices are proliferating in the modern, high-tech enterprise. Traditional endpoint security agents cannot be deployed on these devices. The company discovers, classifies and then profiles and analyzes these devices for risks and anomalous behaviors. The Ordr Policy Generator then dynamically generates policies to segment vulnerable devices to help ensure their security. IP-enabled smart devices like speakers and displays are used to enable employee productivity but can bring risks to the organization such as eavesdropping and recording sensitive conversations.

Ordr Manufacturing: Manufacturing companies are embracing IoT devices to improve operational efficiencies, locate tools, inventory equipment and finished goods, and enhance productivity. Ordr provides the ability to discover, assess risk, and secure these devices without impact to manufacturing operations. IP-enabled manufacturing devices monitor and enhance manufacturing efficiency. Cyberattacks on these devices will have a detrimental impact on revenue and manufacturing operations. IoT devices are used to locate tools and equipment and track finished goods inventory on the manufacturing floor. These devices are critical for business operations and need to be secured.
