or IoT devices and prevent threat actors from attacking them or going after them is multi-faceted. Segmentation is always a great way. By utilizing VLANs, you can segment networks and you can put restrictions firewalls in place so that kind of siloing the data so that you don't have broad brush access across the network if one of these edge devices become infiltrated by a threat actor. The other thing that you can do is ensure that you have a least privilege access model going on with your users so that individuals on the network have only access only to those solutions and systems that they need access to in order to perform their job. And then, of course, monitoring. Monitor their environment and look for any type of nefarious activity or attempts to circumvent any type of security that's been put in place. The other thing we can do is we can also push security from these edge devices and push that security all the way to the endpoint. Make it the user endpoint where users are actually logging into the network from and do the validation and the checking at that point. Therefore, you're not really relying upon the edge device for the security, but you're actually relying upon the endpoint where the user is to validate that the person that is on that endpoint is actually who they say they are. By moving that out to the endpoint versus having the edge, it makes it much more difficult for threat actors to be somebody else, to steal credentials or be able to use phishing or other types of services in order to get somebody's credentials in order to come in.

TL;DR

  • Network segmentation using VLANs creates isolated zones that prevent broad access if edge devices are compromised by threat actors.
  • Implementing least privilege access ensures users only access systems required for their specific job functions, reducing potential attack vectors.
  • Shifting security validation from edge devices to user endpoints makes credential theft and phishing significantly more difficult for attackers.

Summary

Mike Riemer, Field CISO at Ivanti, outlines a comprehensive security strategy for protecting edge devices and IoT infrastructure from threat actors. The approach emphasizes network segmentation through VLANs to create isolated zones that limit lateral movement if a device is compromised. Riemer advocates for implementing least privilege access controls to ensure users only access systems necessary for their roles. Continuous monitoring for suspicious activity is essential for detecting circumvention attempts. A key strategic shift involves pushing security validation to user endpoints rather than relying on edge devices themselves, making credential theft and phishing attacks significantly more difficult. This endpoint-centric approach validates user identity at the point of network entry, reducing the attack surface and improving overall security posture for organizations managing unmanaged edge infrastructure.
