Next Step in IoT/OT Security: Microsoft acquires CyberX

June 23, 2020 Leave a commentMicrosoft, ProductsBy Roger Halbheer

One area, where our story was not as strong as the rest was IoT/OT. We have a broad portfolio already in Azure IoT offering different options to manage IoT and OT devices from the cloud but in the security space there was room for improvement.

With the acquisition of CyberX, which we announced yesterday (Microsoft acquires CyberX to accelerate and secure customers’ IoT deployments) I expect a huge step forward in the vision to deliver a platform to help our customers secure their estate end-to-end.

I am looking forward to see how the CyberX portfolio starts to get integrated e.g. into Sentinel.
