Organizations Can Reduce Risk with Greater
Visibility and Device Discovery Capabilities While Automatically
Enforcing Privileged Access Controls and Policies
CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the global leader in privileged access
management, today announced it is working with Forescout and
Phosphorus to enable organizations to secure the increasing number
of IoT devices and technologies resulting from digital business
transformation. Customers can significantly reduce risk using the
joint integration to continuously discover, secure and manage IoT
devices connected to corporate networks.
By 2030, it’s projected that there will be 25.4 billion active
IoT devices, up from 7.7 billion in 2019.1 Any connected device –
from printers and sensors, to cameras and tablets – can represent
privilege risk based on the systems and data it is connected to,
and who can access the device. Additionally, IoT devices often have
well-known firmware or software vulnerabilities that can be
accessed via weak credentials or default credentials that are
hardcoded into the device. Attackers target connected devices to
gain a foothold within networks, where they can then move laterally
and eventually gain access to an organization’s most critical and
sensitive assets.
In order to reduce risk as the attack surface expands,
organizations must maintain an up-to-date inventory of their IoT
assets and continually assess the network to help ensure that
patches are pushed and weak or default credentials do not remain in
use. However, maintaining visibility and managing the full
lifecycle of IoT is difficult, and costly, to do manually.
CyberArk’s new integration with Forescout and Phosphorus reduces
risk by providing an automated solution that grants visibility into
enterprise IoT networks and automatically shrinks the attackable
surface area by actively managing, securing and monitoring the
credentials used to access their solutions.
“As organizations are increasing investments in transformative
digital technologies like IoT, the number of privileged accounts
and credentials in these devices can mean that each new device
brings with it the potential for security and compliance
vulnerabilities,” said Adam Bosnian, executive vice president,
Global Business Development, CyberArk. “Through our integration
with Forescout and Phosphorus, CyberArk dramatically improves
security and compliance, and alleviates the burden on IT and
security teams through greater automation and operational
efficiencies related to the influx of interconnected devices.”
Through the integration, the Forescout platform continuously
discovers IoT assets as they are added to the network, while
Phosphorus Enterprise Solution assesses each asset, assigns it a
risk level, and remediates firmware vulnerabilities. The CyberArk
Privileged Access Security Solution then enforces security best
practices by centralizing the management of privileged accounts,
applying threat analytics and automating detection and credential
rotation.
“Forescout actively defends the Enterprise of Things by
identifying, segmenting and enforcing compliance of every connected
thing,” said Pedro Abreu, chief product and strategy officer at
Forescout. “We embrace an integrated, automated approach with our
partners to eliminate security gaps and are thrilled to combine the
power of Forescout’s technology with the latest innovation from
CyberArk and Phosphorus so customers can realize complete and
continuously active IoT security that dramatically reduces risk and
manual overhead.”
“IoT devices are proliferating much faster than enterprise
security teams can manage, creating a growing threat with huge
risks,” said Earle Ady, Phosphorus co-founder and CTO. “Together
with CyberArk and Forescout, we’re providing end-to-end IoT
protection—automatically detecting and enrolling devices, providing
agentless firmware updates for rapid security patching, and
providing automated credential management. The result is
comprehensive IoT security visibility and remediation across the
enterprise.”
Forescout and Phosphorus are both members of the C3 Alliance,
CyberArk’s global technology partner program. The integrations are
available on the CyberArk Marketplace, the industry’s broadest and
deepest inventory of privileged access-related technology
integrations.
