A term encompassing all cyber-physical and connected devices across IoT, OT, ICS, and medical device categories under a single security framework. XIoT recognizes that the boundaries between consumer IoT, industrial control systems, and building automation are blurring, and that organizations need a unified approach to securing all connected devices.
Security teams can no longer manage IoT and OT as separate domains. XIoT frameworks help security architects develop consistent policies for all connected devices. CISOs use XIoT visibility platforms to understand their full device inventory. Security engineers who can work across both IT and OT device environments are increasingly valuable.
