The healthcare industry, in particular, has become a primary target due to the sensitivity of
patient data and the life-critical nature of medical devices. Hospitals continually integrate new
devices, demanding effective management and security. Vecchi stressed the vital need for
visibility to swiftly identify and rectify vulnerabilities within these dynamic environments.

Phosphorus’ Unified xIoT Security Management Platform is a transformative force in this
landscape, offering Intelligent Active Discovery for rapid, pinpoint detection of all xIoT devices,
be it in healthcare, manufacturing, or beyond. What sets Phosphorus apart is its capacity to
provide near real-time risk assessments and automate resolution of critical cyber-physical
system vulnerabilities, without necessitating additional hardware or agents.

The impact of Phosphorus’ approach is represented by the following statistics:

• Accurate detection of 90% of xIoT devices.
• Automatic remediation of 80% of xIoT vulnerabilities.
• A cost reduction of over 90% in securing and managing xIoT devices compared to legacy
IoT/OT security approaches.

Phosphorus’ methodology, applicable across industries, encompasses:

1. Discovery and Identification: Safely and accurately identify IoT, OT, IoMT, and IIoT
devices without operational disruptions.
2. Risk Assessment: Evaluate the risk profile of xIoT devices, detecting weak credentials,
outdated firmware, end-of-life assets, and expired certificates.
3. Proactive Hardening: Implement proactive measures to enhance credentials and device
security, such as modifying default passwords and managing risky configurations.
4. Vulnerability Remediation: Scale up vulnerability resolution efforts while maintaining
control, even in sensitive settings.
5. Continuous Monitoring: Continuously oversee all xIoT devices, ensuring compliance
and adapting to environmental changes and new device additions.

In our world of increasingly connected devices, Phosphorus is at the forefront, driving change
that spans industries and safeguards against emerging cyber threats. With their emphasis on
precision, speed, and automation, they are poised to fortify xIoT devices in an era where
connectivity knows no bounds.
