Use Case

IoT Segmentation

As IoT devices proliferate across industrial and healthcare environments - from factory sensors and medical devices to HVAC systems - organizations face mounting security challenges. These connected devices expand attack surfaces dramatically and traditional segmentation approaches often fail to protect them. Modern enterprises need a frictionless way to discover, identify, and secure every IoT device without disrupting operations.

Challenges

Traditional IoT security approaches burden organizations with complex deployments requiring multiple security tools, disparate teams, and extensive configurations. The operational costs soar as teams struggle to protect devices that cannot run agents or require specialized expertise. Without a unified strategy, achieving industrial IoT security becomes a resource-intensive challenge that often leaves critical assets exposed.

IoT Segmentation FAQ

Securing unmanaged IoT devices doesn’t have to mean operational headaches. Explore these common questions to see how Elisity simplifies and strengthens IoT security across your environments.
Many of our IoT devices can't run security software—how does Elisity secure them?

Elisity uses identity-based network policies, protecting IoT devices without needing any agents installed. Devices are identified based on network behavior, enabling precise control and protection even for devices that can’t run software.

Will implementing Elisity for IoT segmentation require downtime or new hardwareinstallations?

No, Elisity can be deployed quickly on existing infrastructure without downtime. Its policies are enforced dynamically at the network edge, protecting IoT devices without operational disruption.

How does Elisity handle thousands of IoT devices without adding management overhead?

Elisity automatically discovers and classifies IoT devices, applying group-based security policies. This automation significantly simplifies IoT security, enabling effortless management at scale.

What's different about Elisity compared to traditional VLANs or firewall rules for IoTsegmentation?

Elisity’s approach is identity-driven and dynamic, not IP-based. Policies follow devices wherever they connect, simplifying management, reducing complexity, and dynamically updating as device risks or behaviors change.
