Transportation and Logistics – IoT Vulnerability and Risk Management

Challenge

Many IoT devices on transportation and logistics networks lack robust security controls, exposing devices to cyber threats and putting service availability at risk.

Critical vulnerabilities

of IoT devices possess critical vulnerabilities exploitable by hackers

Unpatched firmware

of IoT security breaches are due to unpatched device firmware

Security updates

of IoT devices do not receive regular security updates, increasing their risk of exploitation

Solution

With Cylera, transportation and logistics teams can obtain real-time vulnerability visibility and comprehensive risk insight for all IoT devices on their network

Accurate Vulnerability Detection

Cylera aggregates vulnerability data from reputable third-party sources, such as the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and IoT device manufacturer database. The platform then leverages sophisticated machine learning algorithms, combined with continuous monitoring, to quickly and precisely identify IoT device vulnerabilities. This empowers transportation and logistics IT and information security teams to rapidly detect and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Real-World Risk Intelligence

Cylera uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to correlate IoT device vulnerabilities from multiple third-party sources. Cylera then combines this data with network behaviors, indicators of compromise, and human intelligence based on real-world experiences and outcomes to pinpoint IoT device risks based on new data and changing conditions in near real-time.

Risk Scoring with Prioritization

Cylera provides precise risk scoring and prioritization for IoT devices in the transportation and logistics sector. Risk scoring is based on a variety of factors, including device types, vulnerability assessments, behavioral analysis, dependencies, usage telemetry, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and secondary controls. This approach helps streamline mitigation efforts by minimizing alert noise and shortening remediation lists.

Guided Remediation

Cylera provides detailed, step-by-step remediation instructions customized for each identified vulnerability and risk. This empowers IT security teams in transportation and logistics to swiftly and confidently address IoT device risks. It also minimizes errors and uncertainty, ensuring all team members follow consistent security best practices.
