IoT/OT Security

A Zero Trust approach to securing unmanaged devices

Legacy Networks Are Challenged By IoT/OT Devices

Traditional architectures rely on VLAN segmentation, external NAC systems, and manual operations, which were not designed for massive IoT device use and their limited security capabilities.

  • Implied trust creates threat exposure
  • One-time Identity verification

Nile’s Leading-Edge Differentiation

Only VLAN-free wireless and wired network to deliver Zero Trust security on Day 1, without complex add-ons.

Industry-only LAN with default per-device isolation, eliminating lateral movement and potential risk.

All IoT and IP-based OT communication requires explicit intent-based "allow" privileges

Nile Makes Securing IoT Easy

Simple By Design

Streamlined operations via built-in device profiling, default isolation and automated controls eliminate the need for complex NAC appliances.

Zero Trust Security On Day 1

IoT and IP-based OT are never placed in coarse and vulnerable VLAN segments that lead to breaches and attacks.

Reduced IT Burden and Cost

Reduction in IT overhead with turnkey, secure NaaS that eliminates ongoing integration and maintenance costs.

Nile Customer Secures IoT for $1M Savings

  • Multi-vendor network led to two separate NAC solutions
  • A single solution amounted to nearly $1M annually in licensing
  • Elimination of legacy NAC solutions covered cost of upgrade to Nile's secure NaaS

Nile Brings IoT/OT Security Into The Modern Era

  • Complicated VLAN segmentation
  • VLAN-free, Segment-of-1 isolation by default
  • Creation of separate rules per IoT type
  • Automated rule creation and policy enforcement
  • Bolted-on and complex NAC that stays stagnant
  • Built-in access for simplicity and speed
  • High operational overhead
  • Autonomous operations
  • Visibility of unmanaged devices
  • Unparalleled visibility and containment
