物联网创新正在改变企业. A simple, secure solution to onboard the flood of devices will be required to grow your IoT digital business.

物联网设备正在改变我们做生意的方式, the way we interact, 我们保卫城市的方式, 以及急救人员的反应方式. 这些设备正潜移默化地渗透到我们生活的方方面面.

随着物联网成为数字化业务流程的关键推动者, 随着设备数量的激增, 物联网安全问题也是如此. The question is; how do we ensure these billions of devices don’t compromise our networks?

The right direction

In order to ensure that this flood of devices doesn’t compromise our networks, 要实现互联互通，需要采取三大行动, 管理和妥善保护物联网设备. 它们是:发现、分段和监视.

Discover: First, every object connected to the network must be discovered and classified. Identifying each IoT device is essential to define the network requirements and implement policies such as, quality of service, security and bandwidth. These parameters will become part of the device profile in order to easily manage the service that is automatically created by the network.

Segment第二，这是最关键的部分. It is essential to segment a single physical network into separate virtual networks, or containers. 这将确保每个服务, or application, 有自己的专用段，以便在发生安全问题时, specific IoT device traffic can be contained and easily blocked from communicating with other parts of the network.

According to Gartner, “by 2021, more than 60% of all IoT devices on enterprise infrastructure will be "virtually segmented" from traditional business applications, 而今天还不到5%.”

Monitor: Third, IoT devices need to be monitored to ensure that there is no unusual activity and that the devices and applications are functioning as intended. Each authorized object is stored in an inventory so that IT knows exactly and instantly, 网络上连接了多少设备, 以及供应商设备类型和序列号, 这里的确切位置, and status on the network.

Having a finger on the pulse of the network lets IT managers be proactive rather than reactive. Tapping into the device vendor inventory provides the information managers need about where devices are on the network at all times. Ensuring that all network-connected assets are clearly identified in the database, 它们被维护或升级, 基于预定的时间线, 大大提高了全球信息系统的安全性. 而且，走在任何潜在问题的前面，就已经成功了一半以上.

简化、安全的物联网入职

Simplifying configuration is key to handling the influx of IoT devices; doing it securely is the challenge. The highest security risk with IoT devices is not on the objects themselves, 而是打开了通往其他网络领域的大门. Once the object is compromised and hacked, the whole enterprise network becomes vulnerable. When you consider the fact that enterprises connect millions of devices, the challenge becomes clear.

The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise IoT Containment solution provides access to a database with over 17 million IoT devices to quickly identify a connected object and automatically provision a configuration associated with a specific device. There is no need to manually search for devices on the database, this is done automatically.

How it works

使用ALE物联网遏制解决方案, devices are quickly and securely onboarded while protecting the network at the same time. Once a device is discovered and profiled in terms of an authorized application, the solution virtually segments the physical infrastructure to make sure each object connected to the network receives the correct quality of service (QoS), bandwidth, and security. 网络利用用户, object, and application profiling capabilities to easily and automatically create and assign virtual networks to each IoT device, 确保只有正确的应用程序可以在容器中运行.

单一管理系统, 哪些只能通过单个物理网络实现, monitors all IoT systems and users providing complete visibility and control.
