Microsoft Defender for IoT

Defender for IoT delivers agentless network detection and response for two distinct estates that legacy endpoint tools miss:

  • OT / ICS (operational technology, SCADA, PLCs, industrial networks).
  • Enterprise IoT (EIoT) — printers, cameras, VoIP phones, smart-building devices on the corporate network — discovered and protected via the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint sensor and surfaced in Defender XDR.

When to use

Securing factory, utility, healthcare, or building-automation networks; or extending visibility to unmanaged "things" on the enterprise LAN that cannot run an endpoint agent.

Do not use this skill for IoT Hub / IoT Central data-plane security, Azure Sphere firmware design, or workstation/server EDR (defender-for-endpoint).

OT vs Enterprise IoT — pick the right path
