Viakoo Announces Breakthrough IoT Security Benchmarks with DFM-AutoMode

Viakoo today announced a breakthrough in IoT vulnerability remediation that renders traditional, time-consuming methods obsolete. With the release of Device Firmware Manager AutoMode (DFM-AutoMode), Viakoo is enhancing its flagship Viakoo Action Platform with an autonomous remediation solution powered by AI intelligence. This new capability shrinks an organization's IoT attack surface faster than any other security solution by dramatically accelerating the time to remediate known vulnerabilities.

While organizations rely on large-scale IoT systems to deliver profitability and streamline operations, most IT executives view IoT as the most insecure part of their infrastructure according to a survey of CISOs and IT leadership commissioned by Viakoo in 2024. The Viakoo Action Platform with DFM-AutoMode directly confronts this challenge through a streamlined autonomous process that discovers devices, identifies vulnerabilities, and then updates firmware after human approval, to maintain compliance across an entire IoT ecosystem with intelligent automation.

"Our purpose-built IoT remediation solution, now operating autonomously after human approval, is a game-changer," said Bud Broomhead, CEO and founder of Viakoo. "IoT cyber vulnerabilities have grown in volume and velocity where autonomous remediation is no longer optional in large scale IoT deployments — it's an essential. Viakoo ensures that enterprise IoT systems are maintained with maximum efficiency and secured effectively to protect an organization's people, property, and profitability."

Viakoo's ability to take large-scale IoT remediation from months to just minutes is a technological breakthrough built on extensive industry leadership and patented innovations. Viakoo’s strategy around AutoMode capabilities leverages insights from over 2 billion hours of product usage on Viakoo's IoT Security platform, benefiting from real-world experience across every major vertical. This deep expertise, combined with Viakoo's patent portfolio in IoT management, forms the basis for applying AI intelligence to automate and expand the impact of these innovations.
