Viakoo announced a partnership with Presidio, a global digital services and
solutions provider, to deliver comprehensive physical security, internet of
things (IoT) and operational technology (OT) cybersecurity solutions to joint
customers.
The partnership helps
organizations achieve convergence in how physical security teams and
cybersecurity teams operate to reduce risk and stop threats such as ransomware,
data exfiltration, and advanced persistent threats. As defenses around IT
systems have become stronger, threat actors have turned their focus to more
vulnerable OT and IoT devices including physical security systems such as
access control and video surveillance. This has created urgency in how to
secure and harden them.
The IoT/OT attack surface is one
of the most difficult to manage, involving multiple departments and existing at
a scale anywhere from 5x to 20x traditional IT systems. The partnership brings
together Viakoo's automated ability to perform service assurance, analyze vulnerabilities,
and remediate them at scale with the Viakoo Action
Platform, and Presidio's ability to provide
managed IoT/OT cybersecurity solutions. Together, Viakoo and Presidio provide
best-in-class cyber hygiene for connected devices and offer joint customers
innovative solutions to protect their networks and have confidence in both
their physical and cybersecurity posture.
"The IoT/OT security attack surface are among the
fastest-growing attack surfaces in cybersecurity, and addressing IoT/OT
security is a particularly expensive and tedious process because of the
multitude of variables involved," said Frank Rubio, VP of Alliances at Viakoo.
"It's essential that organizations deploy automated solutions to contend with
this scale and complexity. Our partnership with Presidio enables a host of
organizations to better protect themselves at scale by accessing this powerful
automated solution."
"Viakoo's unique capabilities enable a discovery and
remediation process that is far more efficient for IoT/OT than traditional
methods," said Eric Adams, VP of Physical Security at Presidio. "An automated
solution for IoT/OT like Viakoo's is essential for organizations that hope to
defend against the modern threat environment."
The solution is available to Presidio customers now. For
