IoT devices

The IOT DEVICES page lists the non-workstation devices, such as printers, cameras and so on, that are part of your network. To access this page, click the down arrow next to INVENTORY and then select IoT.

This option is only available to users who have purchased the Discover and Protect or the Discover, Protect and Response license.

FortiEDR provides you with visibility to any device in your network, including those on which FortiEDR components are not installed. IoTs are proactively discovered from existing FortiEDR Collectors. For more details, see IoT device discovery.

This page provides all the collected information about each discovered device, including its name, Category (device type), model number, internal IP address, MAC address, the physical location where the device was detected (based on its external IP address) and when it was first and last seen. FortiEDR presents all the information it collected for each device. Information that was not available for a device is marked as N/A in that device’s row in the table. The New indication indicates that the device was discovered within the last three days. The Expired indication indicates that the device has not been seen for more than one week.

The default IoT Group to which new IoT devices are automatically added is marked with a yellow group icon . You can change to a different default IoT Group by clicking the group icon of another IoT Group. Alternatively, you can use Category-based grouping, where each new IoT device is automatically added to the group that represents its Category (for example, network devices, cameras, printers and so on).
