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