The Problem
Critical OT/IoT devices become targets for ransomware and other threats
Your operations rely on your critical OT/IoT endpoints, and in most cases, downtime is simply not an option. In addition, many OT/IoT devices are unpatchable and lack effective built-in security. Others are approaching or have already reached end-of-service, leaving you vulnerable to attackers' new techniques.
Agent-based security is incompatible with many critical OT/IoT devices
The massive growth of connected devices in the enterprise brings an equally massive need to reduce the attack surface. Whether your goal is compliance, risk management, or operational safety, that means ensuring you can fully isolate every connected device.

Enforce policy on every endpoint without adding software. Segment every IP device into a network of one—no agents, no east-west firewalls, or NAC required.
Instantly block risky protocols to reduce the blast radius of a breach with granular controls, including pre-programmed and custom policies.
Automatically discover and classify every device with accurate, real-time auto-mapping.

Integrate into your running network with no agents, hardware upgrades, or VLAN readdressing.
Solution Details
Stop lateral threat movement
Isolate every IP endpoint in its own network without adding agents or software. Visualize and control intra- and inter-VLAN/VPC traffic without network downtime or agents.
![Stop lateral threat movement stop-lateral-threat-movement](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.zscaler.com%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2FtabsModuleTopicImage%2Fstop-lateral-threat-movement_0.png&w=1920&q=75)
Automated Provisioning
Isolate every device into a segment of one (using /32).
Automated Policy Grouping
Group devices, users, and apps for policy enforcement automatically.
Policy Enforcement
Enforce dynamic policy for east-west traffic and IT/OT and Purdue layer separation.
Agentless Deployment
Eliminate east-west firewalls, NAC appliances, and agent-based software.
Ransomware Kill Switch
Automate incident response with simple, user-selectable attack surface reduction. Just choose a pre-set severity level to progressively lock down known vulnerable protocols and ports.

Pre-Set Policies
Align protection to real-time risk with four selectable policy levels based on severity.
Controlled Access
Restrict critical infrastructure access to known MAC addresses only.
SIEM/SOAR Integration
Integrate seamlessly with your existing SIEM and SOAR for automated response.
Port and Protocol Blocking
Instantly block the protocols most favored by ransomware, like RDP/SMB and SSH.
Discover every device
Discover and classify all device assets in real time, with full east-west visibility and control. Take back control with no endpoint agents to deploy or manage.
