Mitigate IoT/OT Vulnerabilities With Guided Virtual Patching (Sponsored)
Today on Heavy Networking, sponsored by Palo Alto Networks, we explore how virtual patching can be used to protect IoT and OT devices. Virtual patching leverages intrusion detection and intrusion detection, combined with threat research, to block exploits targeting IoT and OT devices.
Why would you use virtual patching? When it comes to IoT and particularly OT, these devices are often used in mission-critical environments such as manufacturing, oil and gas production, wastewater treatment, medical devices, and other sectors. These devices often need to operate 24/7, which means maintenance windows have to be carefully scheduled and orchestrated. Virtual patches can provide protection until IT and OT teams can safely apply necessary updates.
We talk with Palo Alto Networks about how it provides virtual patching capabilities in its portfolio, as well as recent announcements on Guided Virtual Patching, which incorporates fine-grained device context to provide more precise protection for sensitive assets. Our guest from Palo Alto Networks is Kalyan Siddam, Director of Product Management IoT Security.
