BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Webroot, the market leader in intelligent cybersecurity for endpoints and collective threat intelligence, today announced the release of the Webroot® IoT Security Toolkit. The toolkit enables Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution designers and system integrators to integrate cloud-based, real-time threat intelligence services and intelligent cybersecurity device agents to protect this next generation of critical systems against modern malware, zero-day exploits and other external threats and internal vulnerabilities.
 
As organizations increasingly move toward IoT, where IT systems converge with critical operational systems, the nature and severity of attacks is increasing dramatically. Regardless of where they fall within the IoT ecosystem, devices and systems that have long-intended service lives need a proactive defense that leverages up-to-the-second threat intelligence and is future-proof against tomorrow's cyberattacks. The Webroot IoT Security Toolkit provides continuously updated threat intelligence that leverages industry-leading Webroot BrightCloud® Threat Intelligence. The BrightCloud platform actively scans the entire internet multiple times a day to detect and classify all types of online threats. The IoT toolkit is available to device manufacturers, systems integrators and Webroot technology partners who strive to offer operational safety and security to their customers. Additionally, any class of next-generation device, gateway, server, or network element can be monitored and protected.
