Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Security
Phosphorus Unified xIoT Security Management Platform
Automated xIoT platform discovering and remediating IoT, OT, IIoT, and IoMT vulnerabilities.
Phosphorus Unified xIoT Security Management Platform Overview
What it does
Phosphorus Unified xIoT Security Management Platform is a Cyber-Physical Systems Protection Platform that delivers proactive discovery, automated remediation, and continuous management across the extended Internet of Things (xIoT) landscape including Internet of Things (IoT), Operational Technology (OT), Industrial IoT (IIoT), and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices. Unlike legacy passive discovery solutions providing limited visibility or active scanners using brute-force polling that disrupts devices, Phosphorus employs patented Intelligent Active Discovery probing devices in native protocols with dynamically adjusted parameters achieving 100 percent device certainty while operating 98 percent faster than passive scanners and 95 percent more efficiently than legacy active tools. The platform addresses that xIoT devices comprise over 60 billion assets worldwide outnumbering traditional IT by five times, with default credentials, outdated firmware, expired certificates, and risky configurations creating attack vectors while organizations lack tools to remediate vulnerabilities at scale without operational disruption.
How it works
The platform operates through patented Genus-Species model supporting over 1,100 device manufacturers and more than one million unique device models using abstraction layer enabling native secure interfacing with devices communicating in their protocols. Core capabilities include Intelligent Active Discovery using customized tiered probe sequences, automated vulnerability remediation executing credential rotation 110 times more frequently and firmware updates 24 times more than manual approaches, and continuous monitoring detecting configuration drift. The platform delivers high-resolution device metadata including model, firmware version, serial number, certificate status, and end-of-life indicators enabling automated hardening, device isolation, and policy enforcement without agents or hardware.
Credentials and traction
Phosphorus won the 2025 IoT Breakthrough Award for IoT Security Platform of the Year and a 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Award in the IoT Security category, along with a 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Most Innovative Company. It was named a Representative Vendor in the 2023 Gartner Market Guide for CPS Protection Platforms.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesDiscovers and fingerprints purpose-built connected devices (printers, cameras, infusion pumps, smart meters, building systems), classifying make, model, OS, firmware, and function, including unmanaged devices that cannot run an endpoint agent.
Identifies, prioritizes, and helps remediate device vulnerabilities, including outdated firmware and exposed network services, across the connected-device fleet.
Assesses overall device-ecosystem risk (device trustworthiness, exposure, and operational context) as a continuous posture, distinct from per-CVE vulnerability management.
Establishes and manages per-device identity and access over the device lifecycle, including certificate and credential provisioning and rotation.
Monitors device configurations and manages firmware updates and configuration hardening at fleet scale, closing weak or default settings on connected devices.
Identifies and prioritizes vulnerabilities across discovered OT and ICS assets using device, firmware, and exposure context, recommending safe, operationally feasible remediation or compensating controls for environments where patching is constrained.
