Higher Education - IoT Discovery and Inventory
Challenge
Rapid IoT device expansion in higher education has reduced asset visibility and security while expanding the cyber attack surface
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
of colleges and universities allow students to bring their own devices to campus
Open network access
of colleges and universities allow open network access to anyone
Lack of IoT device visibility
of IT professionals in higher education struggle to maintain an accurate IoT device inventory
Solution
With Cylera, higher education institutions gain real-time visibility and a complete inventory for all connected IoT devices.
Obtain comprehensive visibility and deep device context across all connected campus IoT assets
Known and Unknown Device Identification
Cylera Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology dynamically captures all IoT devices on higher education campuses, including both known and unknown devices.
Accurate, Comprehensive Device Visibility
Cylera provides comprehensive visibility and context into all connected devices on a higher education institution’s network, including IT, IoT, security systems, building management systems, lab equipment, asset tracking systems, attendance systems, and smart classroom devices in real time.
Deep Device Context and Intelligence
Cylera creates a comprehensive record for each IoT device on the campus network, including manufacturer, model, serial number, operating system, software firmware, vendor, network services, SBoM attributes, connectivity, usage, and more.
Continuous Real Time Device Monitoring
Cylera provides real-time visibility and monitoring for all IoT devices scattered across higher education campuses.
Agentless and passive, Cylera’s mutli-source deep packet inspection (DPI) technology supports complete IoT asset discovery, categorization, inventory, and telemetry.
This ensures higher education technology leaders have full visibility into the IoT devices active on their networks.
