Every Connected Device Is a Potential Risk

Protect your expanding ecosystem of sensors, cameras, and smart devices—without compromising performance or operations.

What Is IoT Security, and Why It Matters

The devices powering your business can also expose it to threats.

From smart lighting and HVAC systems to industrial sensors, badge readers, medical equipment, and security cameras, Internet of Things (IoT) devices are everywhere—and often unprotected. These devices typically lack built-in security, are hard to patch, and frequently bypass traditional monitoring tools.

IoT Security solutions provide visibility, segmentation, and continuous monitoring for these endpoints—so you can protect what’s connected without disrupting daily operations. At TeleSwitch, we help you identify risks, segment critical assets, and select the right service-based protections for your connected environment.

What You Gain with IoT Security Solutions

Visibility. Control. Resilience.

  • Continuous monitoring and anomaly detection for IoT traffic

  • Device identification and profiling across your network

  • Micro-segmentation to limit lateral movement and reduce exposure

  • Real-time alerts for unauthorized access or behavior

  • Support for industrial, medical, retail, and smart-building environments

How Businesses Are Securing IoT Today

Different devices. Same core risks.

  • Securing connected medical equipment in healthcare environments

  • Isolating security cameras, smart lighting, and building controls

  • Monitoring factory sensors and controllers in manufacturing and logistics

  • Locking down POS terminals and retail sensors in distributed locations

  • Enabling compliance reporting for regulated environments with IoT deployments

The Strategic Value of Expert Guidance

IoT security isn’t just about technology. It’s about visibility and risk prioritization.

Most organizations don’t even know how many connected devices are on their networks—let alone which ones are vulnerable. Many IoT platforms operate outside traditional IT systems, making them hard to track, patch, or isolate.

TeleSwitch helps you define a practical approach to IoT security—one that balances business continuity with risk management—and connects you to providers who specialize in noninvasive monitoring and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

IoT security, demystified.

  • How is IoT security different from traditional network security?

    IoT devices often lack built-in protections and can’t run endpoint software. They need specialized tools for visibility, monitoring, and segmentation.

  • Do we need to patch every device?

    Not always. Many solutions focus on detecting abnormal behavior and isolating threats when patching isn’t possible.

  • Can this help with compliance audits?

    Yes. IoT security is increasingly required for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and NIST frameworks, especially in healthcare, retail, and manufacturing.

  • Do I need to know what devices are on my network first?

    No—we help you partner with providers that offer automated device discovery and asset mapping as part of their services.

  • Is IoT security just for industrial use cases?

    Not at all. Any business with connected cameras, thermostats, badge systems, or smart sensors has IoT risk—and can benefit from protection.
