The world leader in xIoT breach prevention is also unveiling the industry’s first Intelligent Active Discovery (IAD) solution that safely and accurately discovers and assesses all IoT, OT, IoMT, and IIoT devices.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Phosphorus, the leading provider of proactive and full-scope breach prevention for the xTended Internet of Things (xIoT), is bringing cyber-physical security innovation to RSAC 2023 with its groundbreaking Enterprise xIoT Security Management Platform and the industry’s first and only Intelligent Active Discovery (IAD) solution for IoT, OT, IoMT, and IIoT devices. Phosphorus is also a proud supporting sponsor of IoT Village in the RSAC Sandbox and will be hosting several interactive hacking and security demonstrations of vulnerable xIoT devices throughout the conference.

After more than six years of research spanning millions of production devices, Phosphorus has determined that 68% of xIoT devices have high-risk or critical CVEs, device firmware is on average six years old, and password compliance is at a dismal 1%. These problems are exacerbated by the lack of effective industry solutions, as traditional tools and approaches developed for IT systems are unable to directly communicate with xIoT devices in order to safely and effectively discover, assess, and remediate them. Most also cannot provide continuous drift monitoring and detection and response capabilities.

This is one of the reasons why Phosphorus has found that 80% of corporate security teams cannot identify the majority of their xIoT devices – let alone secure them.

“xIoT is an enormous attack surface that grows bigger every year and these risks are not properly addressed with traditional security solutions, which are IT-centric and lack the capability to safely and effectively interact with xIoT devices,” said John Vecchi, Chief Marketing Officer of Phosphorus. “Attackers are constantly evolving their tactics and Cyber-Physical Systems are the next big target. Enterprises and organizations are now clamoring for best-of-breed, prevention-based platforms that can accurately and safely discover, assess, remediate, monitor,…
