Description

The Role of Deception Technology in IoT/OT Security

This IDC Market Perspective examines the role of deception technology in Internet of Things (IoT)/ operational technology (OT) security. Operational technology networks power many of the most critical aspects of our society such as electricity grids, oil refineries, manufacturing assembly lines, and medical devices. Yet many of these technologies were not designed with security in mind and cannot be protected with traditional IT security controls. This problem has not gone unnoticed by cybersecurity vendors, which offer a plethora of security solutions to address this. Deception is a technology that is emerging and gaining attention among security vendors and operational technology and Internet of Things customers."Deception technology can help defend IoT and OT systems, especially with systems that may be running an older, unsupported operating system and low–compute powered devices where security-related updates or upgrades may just not be possible," says Ed Lee, research director, Internet of Things and Intelligent Edge: Security at IDC.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
