Firedome, a leading global IoT Endpoint Protection provider, has recently announced its integration with Microsoft Defender for IoT, utilizing Microsoft Sentinel. By combining Firedome’s on-device agent-based real-time detection and prevention with Microsoft Defender for IoT’s network-based events, users will have a comprehensive view and analysis of cyberattacks in IoT/OT environments. This partnership aims to enhance device and organizational security by offering a streamlined experience through Microsoft Sentinel.
Firedome’s Defense in Depth cyber solution, which encompasses prevention, detection, response, and feeds forensic data into a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management system), provides a comprehensive approach to security. The lightweight agent is compatible with major IoT operating systems, including Linux, FreeRTOS, Windows, and Android. This allows it to be implemented in various sectors such as healthcare, energy, smart buildings, and retail.
The integration of Firedome’s on-device agent-based protection with Microsoft Defender for IoT’s network and perimeter capabilities provides users with valuable insights. With this integration, users can identify, block, and remediate devices responsible for initiating cyber attacks within their IoT/OT network. Furthermore, they can track threats across network segments and identify devices involved in DDOS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) and botnet campaigns. As a result, organizations can enhance their understanding of cyber threats and proactively safeguard their IoT environment.
Firedome’s Co-founder and CEO, Moti Shkolnik, expressed his excitement about expanding their relationship with Microsoft through this groundbreaking integration. Shkolnik believes that this integration will empower organizations by providing them with an in-depth understanding of cyber threats targeting their IoT devices and networks.
Nir Krumer, GM IoT/OT Security at Microsoft, highlighted the valuable insights that Firedome’s EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) brings to the Security Operations Center (SOC). By incorporating insights from both network and endpoint for IoT/OT environments and devices, SOC teams can provide faster detection and response to cyber attacks on IoT/OT devices and networks. The aim is to empower SOC teams with IoT/OT-enabled SOC that has visibility into all telemetry.
As a pioneer in endpoint protection for IoT devices, Firedome specializes in cybersecurity and aims to prevent advanced attack types that are undetectable by existing security controls. Their EPP™ (Endpoint Protection Platform) allows organizations to protect IoT endpoints effectively. By democratizing EPP for IoT, Firedome enables security teams to safeguard IoT endpoints with agent-based protection.
Firedome’s solution provides Defense in Depth protection throughout the attack chain, incorporating prevention, detection, response, and forensic data. This unified solution seamlessly integrates with existing SIEM platforms. The company has a global team of cyber, embedded, research, and analysis experts, founded by top security veterans. Firedome IoT agents are designed to protect any IoT device, making it suitable for various verticals, including healthcare, energy, smart buildings, and retail.
This integration between Firedome and Microsoft Defender for IoT signifies a significant advancement in IoT endpoint protection. By combining their expertise, these companies are empowering organizations to stay one step ahead of cyber threats and fortify their IoT environment. With the ever-increasing number of IoT devices, robust security measures are crucial to safeguard against malicious attacks.
