IoT Security vs. Microsoft Defender for IoT

To instill trust in the diverse IoT infrastructure, ZingBox invented the IoT personality-based approach to secure IoT. Each IoT device exhibits certain limited set of functions, flow and vulnerabilities regardless of where it is deployed, a.k.a IoT personality. This approach discerns each device's behaviors and detects any unusual activities to enforce trust amongst connected devices. Traditional security solutions focus on data protection; ZingBox goes further to provide service protection for business continuity.

Microsoft Defender for IoT is a comprehensive security solution designed to protect Internet of Things (IoT and operational technology (OT environments. It offers real-time asset discovery, vulnerability management, and cyberthreat protection for industrial infrastructures, including industrial control systems (ICS and OT networks. By providing complete visibility into all IoT and OT assets, Defender for IoT enables organizations to manage security posture effectively and reduce the cyberattack surface area.
