IoT Security Services

IoT devices get deployed because they solve a business problem — a sensor, a camera, a smart badge reader — and security is usually an afterthought bolted on after the fact, if it's considered at all. These devices tend to ship with weak or hardcoded credentials, infrequent (or nonexistent) patching, and network access far broader than the job actually requires.

The risk isn't just the device itself. It's what the device can reach once it's compromised. A single unpatched camera on a flat network can be a foothold into everything else on that network, which is why IoT security has to be a network conversation as much as a device conversation.

Where I'd start

First, inventory: you can't secure what you don't know is connected, and shadow IoT — devices someone plugged in without telling anyone — is extremely common. Second, segmentation: IoT devices belong on their own network segment with tightly scoped access, not sitting on the same flat network as your finance systems. Third, lifecycle: who's responsible for firmware updates, credential rotation, and decommissioning when a device reaches end-of-life or gets replaced.

Assessing what you've already deployed

For devices already in production, I assess what they can actually reach, what credentials they're using, and whether firmware is current — then prioritize fixes by actual exposure, not by how interesting the device is. A smart thermostat on an isolated segment is a much lower priority than a building-access controller sitting on your core network.

This isn't a one-time project if your organization keeps adding connected devices, which most do. It's worth building a standing process for vetting new devices before they're deployed, not after.

If you've got IoT in your environment and no clear picture of what it can reach, let's take a look.
