Firedome and Microsoft Join Forces to Bolster IoT Device Security with Integrated Microsoft Sentinel

Firedome Integrates with Microsoft Defender for IoT to Enhance Cybersecurity in IoT/OT Environments

The Integration

Firedome, a global leader in IoT Endpoint Protection, has announced its integration with Microsoft Defender for IoT, utilizing Microsoft Sentinel. This collaboration combines Firedome‘s on-device agent-based real-time detection, prevention, and response capabilities with Microsoft Defender for IoT’s network-based events, providing customers with a comprehensive view, analysis, prevention, and remediation of cyberattacks in IoT/OT environments throughout all attack phases.

Enhanced Security Measures

The streamlined integration with Microsoft Sentinel allows users to create alerts, investigate security incidents, and access unique device-entry-point data, thereby enhancing device and organizational security. Firedome‘s Defense in Depth cyber solution offers a comprehensive approach to security, integrating prevention, detection, response, and forensic data into a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system.

Compatibility and Versatility

Firedome‘s lightweight agent is fully compatible with major IoT operating systems such as Linux, FreeRTOS, Windows, and Android. It operates across various sectors, including healthcare, energy, smart buildings, and retail. By combining Firedome‘s on-device agent-based protection with Microsoft Defender for IoT’s network and perimeter capabilities, users can gain valuable insights into cyber threats.

Identifying, Blocking, and Remediation

The integration empowers users to identify, block, and remediate the devices responsible for initiating cyberattacks within their IoT/OT network. Users can also track the movement of threats across network segments and pinpoint devices involved in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and botnet campaigns. This comprehensive view enables users to enhance their understanding of cyber threats and take proactive measures to safeguard their IoT environment.

Industry Leaders’ Insights

Moti Shkolnik, Firedome‘s Co-founder and CEO, expressed delight at the expanded relationship with Microsoft, stating that the integration provides customers with an in-depth understanding of cyber threats targeting their IoT devices and networks. Nir Krumer, GM IoT/OT Security at Microsoft, highlighted the value of the integration, stating that it enriches Security Operations Center (SOC) teams with valuable insights from cross-network and endpoint telemetry. The aim is to empower SOC teams with IoT/OT-enabled SOC that has visibility into all telemetry and can detect and respond faster to cyberattacks on IoT/OT devices and networks.
