The network is transforming at a rapid pace, with multi-cloud environments and an ever-expanding range of devices connecting to the internet across both wired and wireless. Consider the vulnerabilities created by smartphones, HVAC systems, lighting, serverless cameras, robotic tools, medical devices, and vending machines, all being part of your network. This wave of new devices form a more complex environment with exponentially greater levels of scale and complexity.
Most internet of things (IoT) devices were not designed with built-in security, and the diversity of these devices makes these endpoints difficult to manage.
