Viakoo Ensures Every IoT System Used For Food Preparation or Store Operations is Visible, Operational & Secure
In just a few years restaurant kitchens have gone from being manual, analog, and linear to being automated, digital, and optimized. This change has brought new types of risks from cyber threats that can impact food safety, efficiency, and the entire organization’s reputation. The fastest growing type of cyber threats are against IoT devices and applications, including those that make connected kitchens operate. Viakoo® Action Platform discovers and provides hundreds of data points such as firmware version, end-of-life information, and device warranty information. Viakoo uses automation to remediate vulnerabilities and keep devices running and your business safe.
Contain IoT Vulnerabilities and Respond to Food and Operational Risks.
The Viakoo Action Platform identifies security gaps and device vulnerabilities, detects threats and anomalous behavior, and automates policy enforcement. Viakoo’s agentless platform uses this information to remediate risks on devices automatically, ensuring they are operational, secured, and working as expected. The actions Viakoo takes include:
- Triggering firmware updates
- Forcing password rotations
- Refreshing certificates, and more
Viakoo Action Platform Enables You to Reduce Cost and Risk
IoT devices are deployed and supported by many parts of an organization, including Operational Technology, Facilities, Physical Security, and Manufacturing. Simple to deploy and operate, Viakoo helps you bring both cost and risk under control:
- Reducing cost of IoT cyber hygiene
- Reducing complexity of IoT device security
- Eliminating manual processes, like data entry
- Agentless, frictionless deployment
- Centralized/streamlined management
- Proof of operational performance
Identify and Classify Applications and Devices in Connected Kitchens
Bad actors see your environment as one interconnected attack surface, making pervasive visibility into every device in your environment a critical need. Viakoo discovers all applications and devices in your environment—managed, unmanaged, OT, and IoT—on or off your network and in your airspace—giving you the most comprehensive asset inventory available.
Viakoo is also agentless and passive. It performs application-based discovery, finding devices by first looking at the software applications that use IoT devices as sensors (e.g. video cameras), and then following the path from the application to the specific devices. This provides additional information about configuration, usage, performance, and device relationships (i.e. semantic correlation), yielding a full complement of device data.
Viakoo bidirectionally shares extensive device information with other security solutions, ensuring asset managers, IT staff, and security teams have all the information they need about every device.
