Extrahop Reveal(x) now provides advanced discovery, classification, and behaviour profiling for enterprise IoT devices, providing visibility from the device to the service layer. These latest enhancements extend Reveal(x) capabilities to the enterprise IoT device edge, providing complete visibility, detection, and response across the attack surface without the need to implement narrow point solutions.

IoT reduces operational friction, making businesses more efficient and employees more productive. But this comes at a cost. IoT moves computing power to the edge, vastly expanding the enterprise attack surface, and without visibility into what devices are connecting to the network and what resources they are accessing, it leaves organisations vulnerable to threats.

“Our research points to consistent growth in enterprise IoT usage which, along with other enterprise initiatives, has led to a growing attack surface,” said Fernando Montenegro, Principal Analyst, Information Security, 451 Research. “This leads to increased demands from enterprise security teams for visibility into network traffic, analysis for detection of threats, followed by remediation as needed.”

With the latest release, Extrahop Reveal(x) now provides the visibility, detection, and investigation capabilities security and IT organisations need to continuously secure and manage expanding IoT deployments.

“We believe that enterprise IoT is a strong fit for Extrahop's network detection and response solution. Not only do we discover the presence of IoT devices, identifying make and model, but we also automatically segment into peer groups to detect suspicious behaviours and potential threats.” said Jesse Rothstein, CTO and co-founder at Extrahop. “Reveal(x) enables organizations to truly understand the level of risk a device poses and provides situational awareness of the environment.”
