Securing IoT in the enterprise is complex because of the varying of IoT devices and their diversity in form, function and purpose. While some IoT devices like smart devices may have some form of memory and computing, therefore operating system, others like sensors and telemetry modules merely capture data and pass this to other technologies in the workflow.It is this diversity of form, function and technology, and the proliferation of multiple standards or protocols that has limited the ability of IT and security teams to integrate the security of IoT technologies into the enterprise.Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is the convergence of connectivity and security helping organizations to achieve a consistent security posture by implementing a decentralised concept where security is provided directly at the source, with the management of all involved components done in the cloud.SASE promises to bring IoT into the security framework of the organisation. Amit Bareket, VP for Secure Service Edge at Check Point explains the possibility in the following dialogue with FutureIoT.1. What are the top challenges faced in OT security in 2024?2. What are the key components of OT security?3. Should OT security be outsourced? (not sure if relevant to the overall story)4. For a long time, the security of operational technology has been kept out of the IT’s portfolio. Given the recent rise in attacks against critical and industrial systems, do you see a convergence of IT and OT security and who will lead the charge?5. How does IoT fit into SASE (and vice versa)?
