IoT devices impact network security by increasing the attack surface. Segmentation and monitoring mitigate potential risks.
IoT devices impact network security by increasing the attack surface due to the various entry points they create for potential malicious actors. Segmentation involves isolating IoT devices into separate network segments to limit the scope of a potential breach. Effective monitoring helps to detect unusual or suspicious activity on the network in a timely manner, allowing for quicker response to possible threats. Together, segmentation and monitoring play a crucial role in mitigating the security risks posed by IoT devices on a network.
