Phosphorus security advances IoT protection
The Phosphorus platform provides proactive IoT discovery and remediation solutions, enabling safe, fast, and accurate discovery and assessment of all IoT, OT, and IoMT devices while enabling automated hardening and remediation at scale—all without agents, hardware, or hassles. In today’s dynamic enterprise landscape, traditional IT and IoT security solutions fall short in managing the growing IoT attack surface, which includes more than 60 million devices. Notably, 70% of IoT, OT, and IoMT Cyber-Physical Systems are deployed with default passwords, 68% contain known high to critical vulnerabilities, and 30% are end-of-life and no longer supported with security updates.
The Phosphorus platform addresses these challenges by providing extensive CPS device coverage, supporting over 600 different IoT device manufacturers, and more than one million unique device models—surpassing traditional passive solutions reliant on network monitoring. “Being recognized as an emerging technology vendor reaffirms our commitment to delivering innovative technology products and services through the IT channel,” said Chris Rouland, CEO of Phosphorus. “Our team is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art solutions that allow our customers to safely and efficiently manage vulnerabilities in every IoT, OT, and IoMT Cyber-Physical System.”
The 2024 Stellar Startups list will be featured in the December 2024 magazine and online.
