Can a VPN protect IoT devices? The short answer: Yes.

Your IoT/IIoT can be made up of everything from tablets, laptops, and smartphones to cameras, vehicles, health devices, machine sensors, and everything in between. Securing the communications between these devices is critical in protecting your network, and ultimately, business, and OpenVPN can help.

Protect against cyber attacks

IoT devices make up 30%of all network-connected endpoints. With so many connected IoT devices online and more coming every day, the attack surface is growing exponentially and putting every organization at enormous risk. Keeping your IoT network isolated from the internet reduces your attack surface and the risk of cyber attacks.

Stop eavesdropping on IoT communications

IoT devices deployed in an open environment — e.g., mobile and distributed point-of-sale systems transmitting financial data — need to be secured against eavesdropping. To combat this, a VPN encrypts all communications while they travel over the internet.

Stop eavesdropping on IoT communications

Ensure IoT device interoperability

Your IoT devices can range from tablets, laptops, and smartphones to cameras, vehicles, health devices, machine sensors, and everything in between. These devices in your environment run on different operating systems, creating interoperability and security challenges. You need easy setup with compatible routers and VPN clients with extensive operating system support. The open source nature of OpenVPN enables you to adapt the code to your device.

Ensure IoT device interoperability

Verify IoT device authenticity

For all of the devices connecting to your network, you need to know whether they can be trusted as the devices you’re expecting. Especially in a BYOD environment, it's critical that only authorized devices are connected.

Verify IoT device authenticity
