Defender Adapter

In-line Security for Vulnerable Wired Devices

Product Overview

The Defender for IoT Adapter delivers enterprise-grade performance and

personalized protection for vulnerable wired devices. Placed between the

network and the device, the Defender Adapter works in conjunction with

the Defender Application (a value add application on the ExtremeCloud

Appliance) to secure, isolate, track and monitor IoT devices.

Secures

The primary function of the Defender Adapter is to enforce policies that

are centrally created by the Defender Application, ensuring that the IoT

device connected to it operates according to its expected behavior.

The profile provides a list of authorized devices and traffic flows to limit

what the IoT device receives and transmits, as well as who or what the

device can communicate with. The Defender Adapter will then monitor all

traffic to and from the device w ith full L2-7 visibility and block any traffic

that is out of profile.

Isolates

A unique attribute of the Defender for IoT solution is that it can isolate

groups of IoT devices into their own secure zone / network segment. The

role of the Defender Adapter is to ensure the secure attachment of IoT

devices into the specified secure zone. These secure zones can be IPSec

tunnels overlaid onto 3rd party networks, Fabric Connect virtualized

hyper-segments, or just VLAN-based.

Highlights

- Critical component of the Defender

for IoT solution which consists of

the Defender Application (a

value-added Application available

on the ExtremeCloud

Appliance),

the Defender Adapter (SA201) and/ or

the ExtremeWireless 3912i Indoor

Access Point

- Provides in-line protection of

critical and potentially vulnerable

wired IoT devices.

- Enforces policies that are centrally

created by the Defender Application,

ensuring that the IoT device it is

connected to operates according to its

expected behavior.

- Monitors and filters traffic w ith full

L2-7 visibility.

- Provides network attachment of IoT

devices to IPSec Tunnels, Fabric

Connect Hyper-segments or VLANs.

- Offers an integrated IoT Radio for

BLE/ 802.15.4 (iBeacon, Eddystone,

Thread) to support extended

connectivity of IoT sensors and devices

as well as to help locate critical assets.

- Support for PoE pass-through, enabling

efficient powering of attached devices

such as IP cameras and IP phones.
