Microsoft Defender for IoT applies threat research from the Microsoft security research team. Dedicated IoT and ICS/OT threat intelligence supports the security needs of customers in all major industries, such as manufacturing, energy, automotive, and healthcare.
Microsoft IoT Signals
Microsoft Defender for IoT supports enterprise and industrial IoT devices, including ICS/OT. These devices can be secured using passive, agentless monitoring or an agent if the device manufacturer includes it in the build. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides a deployable agent that secures traditional endpoints, such as workstations, servers, and mobile devices. Together, these solutions can secure all endpoint types in your organization.
Complete protection for all your endpoints
Use Defender for IoT and Defender for Endpoint together to help secure all your endpoints.
