5-Step Process for Managing Edge Assets

1. Gain Visibility

• Gain visibility to all IoT Edge assets across Enterprise’s global operations

• Characteristics like firmware, applications, location, IP etc.,

2. Establish Zero Trust Policies & Identities

• Publish policies for Edge/IoT asset identity, access & management control – in alignment to Enterprise’s policies, standards & procedures

• Review existing state, procedures & gaps

3. Secure Edge Assets

• Secure IoT Edge device endpoints: configuration setting, vulnerabilities, performance telemetry

• Create Identities, certificates & credentials

• Weighted risk score

4. Roll-out Automation & Orchestration

• Dashboards & reports

• Automated workflows, alerts, remediation process

• Continuous Auditing/Monitoring of Activities on Devices @ Edge

• Orchestrating response back to other connected end points/systems

• Integrate with Enterprise Workflows / Ticketing Systems

5. Resilient & Intelligent Operations

• AI based Predictive Models for maintenance of the devices

• Anomaly detection ML models in performance of the devices/systems

• Anomaly detection ML models for misconfiguration

• Anomaly detection in drift for zero trust security compliance
