What is edge security?
Edge security is threat prevention, detection, and mitigation for your entire network, no matter how your employees connect to it, with firewalls, antivirus software, and internal systems protection. It integrates unified threat management (UTM) and a web application firewall (WAF) to protect sensitive apps and data and control internet traffic.
DOT Security combines hardware and software to make sure that your employees have the freedom to work in the office, at home, or anywhere in the world, with whichever devices they choose, without potentially compromising critical business assets or creating network vulnerabilities.
Network edge security differs from endpoint protection because, where endpoint protection covers individual devices to secure your environment, edge security protects the network itself, no matter what devices are connecting to it.

Outdated
Network edge security wasn’t considered when developers were creating the first antivirus programs, but it’s now a crucial element of cybersecurity.
Imprecision
Are you sure that you understand and have both edge security and endpoint protection? Without expert help, it’s hard to know that you have these critical, distinct elements.

What are IoT edge devices?
IoT edge devices are the hardware that connects to your network and accesses the internet. IoT is short for “Internet of Things” and edge devices are endpoints that allow you to actually get into your network. Some examples of IoT edge devices are laptops mobile phones, and smart sensors, all of which need to be fortified against network vulnerabilities.
