Keep firmware updated on thousands of devices via automatic compliance with the Viakoo Action Platform with Device Firmware Manager (DFM).
Firmware: A key security breach vector
The easiest way for a bad actor to compromise the enterprise is by exploiting out-of-date and vulnerable firmware. Unfortunately, device manufacturers don’t make the firmware update process easy. It’s largely a tedious, manual, and complex effort–especially when an organization has deployed different devices from multiple vendors. When the enterprise has thousands of devices to manage, it’s nearly impossible to keep up–leaving your organization vulnerable to attack.
This is where the Viakoo Action Platform with Viakoo DFM delivers. Viakoo not only discovers all your IoT devices, it also determines which ones have old firmware and/or are out of compliance. Best of all, in a few clicks, Viakoo DFM updates them all.
Confirmed Compliance
Once Viakoo Action Platform discovers your IoT devices, it generates a compliance report that clearly displays which devices are compliant with the proper firmware and which ones need upgrades. Viakoo DFM also maintains a history of any changes to device firmware for audit purposes.
Trusted Process
Deploying untrusted or corrupted firmware can turn a useful device into an IT nightmare. Confirming that updates are actually genuine isn’t easy. Viakoo DFM provides a secure “chain-of-trust” method to ensure only valid and functional firmware is deployed. Not only does this provide safety at scale, but it also helps your team be confident in scheduling updates and ensuring IoT devices are operational at all times.
Automated Security
Manually deploying firmware device by device at multiple locations isn’t safe, efficient, or secure. At scale, it is virtually impossible. With a few clicks, Viakoo DFM persistently and automatically updates the firmware of thousands of devices wherever they are—saving time, money, and frustration.
