    Amazon AWS
    We have used AWS IoT Device Defender to safeguard our client's IoT senors placed in a manufacturing unit for implementing Industry 4.0 solutions. Its machine learning and automation capabilities have ensured that we get alerts whenever something abnormal or spike in a particular metric is detected which lets us sleep at night. Didn't find any scenario where it is less suited.

    Suited in almost all situations as it has a server less option where if your end device cannot bear the load of an agent, it could be used to protect the network. The comprehensive dashboarding and its integration with Microsoft Defender 365 and Sentinel allows automated remediation and full incident investigation at a single pane. If you don't have a 24*7 SOC team this ca come handy as you can automate workbooks and scripts to run with custom triggers. I haven't faced any scenario where it is not a suitable choice.

    Return on Investment
    Amazon AWS
    • It's ML part which is already trained and on the top of that we can add our own model to define device behaviors to monitor traffic and set the upmost security.

    • Positive: With the influx of IoT device organisations in general, we have seen significant demand of the product and hence a good revenue
    • Negatively, sometimes, some preview features may significantly change or stop working, which causes client frustration
    • Overall, keeping the distrust in preview features aside, 99% of the times, defender hits the right spot!
