Protect IoT and OT environments with agentless monitoring
$70.00/month
Drive your digital transformation forward with robust security for your IoT/OT infrastructure. Microsoft NCE Defender for IoT provides agentless network detection and response (NDR) that deploys rapidly, seamlessly integrates with a wide range of IoT, OT, and industrial control system (ICS) devices, and interoperates effortlessly with Microsoft 365 Defender, Microsoft Sentinel, and external security operations center (SOC) tools. Whether you prefer an on-premises or cloud-based deployment, our solution caters to your needs. For IoT device manufacturers, Defender for IoT offers lightweight agents for stronger device-layer security.
Top Features
Secure your Azure IoT projects from edge to cloud
Use Defender for IoT with solutions like Azure IoT Edge and Azure RTOS to help secure your projects from edge to cloud, with security recommendations and alerts directly in Azure IoT Hub. Unify cloud security posture management and help protect those workloads using extended detection and response (XDR) from Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Connect to Microsoft Sentinel to feed IoT security alerts into your view across your entire enterprise.
Built-in security for new IoT projects
Help protect new IoT devices and Azure IoT projects from day one by deploying Defender for IoT security micro-agents. Reduce risk with real-time security posture monitoring across standard IoT operating systems. Support policies and compliance with continuous visibility into your IoT security, directly from the endpoint. Use Microsoft threat intelligence to detect evolving threats. Create custom alerts to define the most critical threats to your environment.
Protect IoT devices with minimal endpoint impact
Deploy endpoint security with minimal impact to your IoT devices—the Defender for IoT security micro-agent has a small footprint and no OS kernel dependencies. Deploy with the distribution model that works best for your devices, and modify source code to further customize the agent to your needs. Micro-agents are available for standard IoT operating systems, including Linux and Azure RTOS.
Recommended products
Discover all your IoT/OT devices
Use passive, agentless network monitoring to safely gain a complete inventory of all your IoT/OT assets, with zero impact on IoT/OT performance. Analyze diverse and proprietary industrial protocols to visualize your IoT/OT network topology and see communication paths, and then use that information to accelerate network segmentation and zero trust initiatives. Identify equipment details such as manufacturer, device type, serial number, firmware level, and backplane layouts. Quickly identify the root cause of operational issues such as misconfigured devices and networks.

Protect devices with a risk-based approach
Protect devices with a risk-based approach Proactively address vulnerabilities in your IoT/OT environment. Identify risks such as missing patches, open ports, unauthorized applications, and unauthorized subnet connections. Detect changes to device configurations, controller logic, and firmware. Prioritize fixes based on risk scoring and automated threat modeling, which identifies and visualizes the most likely attack paths for adversaries to compromise your most critical or crown jewel assets.

Detect threats with IoT/OT behavioral analytics
Monitor for anomalous or unauthorized activity using IoT/OT-aware behavioral analytics and threat intelligence. Strengthen IoT/OT zero trust security by instantly detecting unauthorized remote access and unauthorized or compromised devices. Rapidly triage real-time alerts, investigate historical traffic, and hunt for threats. Catch modern threats like zero-day malware and living-off-the-land tactics missed by static indicators of compromise (IOCs). Explore full-fidelity packet captures (PCAPs) for deeper analysis.

Unify IT/OT security with SIEM/SOAR and XDR
Get a bird's-eye view across IT/OT boundaries with interoperability with Microsoft Sentinel, cloud-native SIEM/SOAR. Automate response with IoT/OT playbooks. Use machine learning and threat intelligence from trillions of signals collected daily across the global Microsoft ecosystem (such as endpoints, cloud, Azure Active Directory, and Microsoft 365), augmented by IoT/OT-specific intelligence collected by a specialized Microsoft Section 52 security research team. Prevent attacks with extended detection and response (XDR) from Microsoft 365 Defender. Plus, get interoperability with other SOC tools such as Splunk, IBM QRadar, and ServiceNow.
