Microsoft Defender for IoT

Microsoft Defender for IoT is a complete endpoint security solution that protects IoT and OT devices across enterprise networks. The technology offers agentless network detection and response (NDR), giving users complete insight into all linked assets, including communication protocols, behaviors, and risk profiles. Defender for IoT provides risk-based vulnerability management and cyberthreat detection powered by behavioral analytics and machine learning, allowing enterprises to prioritize and remediate threats, reduce their attack surface, and speed up incident response. The solution is specifically designed for areas where standard endpoint agents cannot be deployed, enabling continuous protection for vital infrastructure and industrial systems.​

Microsoft Defender for IoT interfaces with the rest of the Microsoft Security portfolio, including Microsoft 365 Defender and Microsoft Sentinel, enabling unified security operations in both IT and OT settings. It has advanced features including asset discovery, network security, cloud protection, real-time notifications, and remote device administration.
