Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for IoT

We have multiple clients with industrial IoT devices in their manufacturing plants and a vendor who sells smart (IoT) devices to monitor specific machinery. Those IoT needs to be monitored and secured as they collect confidential data and logs which are then used by analysts and engineers for business decisions. And it is my job to provide and equip them with the best security tools present. So, I configured Defender for IoT on them.
  • Agentless monitoring
  • Integration with Sentinel
  • Multiple protocol support
  • Greater focus on UI UX which is great but sometimes limits in terms of features
  • Device inventory and alerting
  • Serverless
  • Active monitoring
  • The consolidated dashboard for incidents
  • Integration with Sentinel.
  • As we are using other Azure products it has been great to get everything at one stop
  • A nice and comprehensive solution for our security needs.
  • IoT devices are our end devices and an easy entry point for bad actors, configuring defender for IoT has saved us with the time and money which we could lost in a malicious attack
Defender being native to MS was the decision maker for us.

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Defender for IoT go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Defender for IoT again?

Yes

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.
