Your connected devices power essential business functions, but fragmented tools and siloed processes can make it difficult for you to maintain operational stability, enforce policies consistently and respond to emerging threats.
You may be facing challenges such as:
Lack of real-time visibility into device performance and behavior
Slow or incomplete investigations when anomalies occur
Inconsistent enforcement of traffic and security policies
Insufficient evidence to support audits or prove compliance
These blind spots compound as your IoT deployments grow, increasing operational costs and organizational risk.
Aeris IoT Watchtower Complete gives you the unified awareness and enforcement you need to manage and secure connected devices.
Offered as a powerful enhancement to the Aeris IoT Accelerator Connectivity Management Platform, IoT Watchtower brings your security, operations and compliance teams together, eliminating the silos that create blind spots, slow response and increase risk.
It does this by providing a single source of truth, unifying Monitoring, Analysis, Control and Protection so every team works from the same intelligence and takes coordinated action based on a least-privilege Zero Trust model.
With Aeris IoT Watchtower, you can:
Access real-time visibility into IoT device behavior with anomaly detection and performance analytics.
Investigate issues faster using historical search, forensic reports and contextual insight into device posture.
Enforce consistent network and security policies with destination allow/deny lists, segmentation and traffic governance.
Automatically block malicious communication and contain threats with malware protection and policy-driven response.
Apply network controls to govern usage, optimize costs and support usage-based monetization models.
By integrating Awareness and Enforcement capabilities into one coordinated solution, you eliminate blind spots and strengthen your security posture while managing costs and enabling revenue opportunities as your deployments grow.
Aeris IoT Watchtower is built on a simple principle: You can’t control or secure what you can’t see or understand. That’s why we unify Awareness and Enforcement capabilities to give you the intelligence you need and the ability to act on it all in one place.
Our unified model eliminates the gaps that occur when Awareness and Enforcement functions are in separate systems. Instead, you gain a single solution designed to support the full lifecycle of your connected device environment — from continuous visibility to Zero Trust policy enforcement.
Built for Operations teams who need real-time visibility, Aeris IoT Watchtower Monitoring offers the awareness required to understand device behavior and diagnose issues. Monitoring includes anomaly detection, device analytics and aggregated account statistics to support day-to-day troubleshooting.
Learn moreDesigned for Risk and Compliance teams, Aeris IoT Watchtower Analysis extends Monitoring with deeper contextual insight for your teams’ investigations and audits. Analysis adds expanded search history, the Risk Assessment Report and SIEM integration for stronger forensic and reporting capabilities.
Learn moreIdeal for Operations and Security teams, Aeris IoT Watchtower Control introduces Enforcement. Control supports allow-block lists, Blocked Traffic Reports, Application Usage Reports and Zero Trust segmentation to define and enforce traffic policies, govern usage, control costs and enable usage-based monetization.
Learn moreEnforcementBuilt for Security teams that need automated defense, Aeris IoT Watchtower Protection delivers our most advanced Enforcement capabilities. Protection extends Control and adds proactive Zero Trust threat defense with malware protection to empower your team to detect, block and remediate threats across IoT devices.

Bundles build on each other, amplifying your results. Select the complete Aeris IoT Watchtower suite to unify all capabilities in one solution for end-to-end visibility, policy control and Zero Trust threat protection.
Aeris IoT Watchtower transforms fragmented operational and security workflows into a coordinated, insight-driven approach to managing and securing mission-critical connected devices.
Identify anomalies early, validate root causes with historical insight and resolve issues quickly to maintain operational stability at scale.
Access complete, verifiable evidence with stored reports and correlated device behavior for faster, more accurate audit responses.
Eliminate manual analysis, reduce tool sprawl and apply network controls to govern traffic, optimize costs and monetize usage.
Automatically detect malicious traffic, block emerging threats and enforce Zero Trust policies to minimize exposure across devices.
Aeris IoT Watchtower applies Monitoring, Analysis, Control and Protection capabilities in coordinated ways to help you address operational, security and compliance challenges facing your IoT program. These use cases show how the full solution can support your business in real-world situations.
Stopping a Zero-Day Threat Before It Spreads
When a fast-moving malware campaign targets your connected devices, it can attempt to communicate with malicious destinations and move laterally across environments.
You contain the threat immediately, limit its reach and maintain a complete record for internal or regulatory review—all without interrupting operations.
Protection automatically blocks attempts to reach known or emerging C2 destinations.
Control enforces segmentation rules that prevent lateral movement.
Monitoring confirms normal behavior across unaffected devices.
Analysis provides the evidence needed to understand and document what happened.
Preventing a Small Misconfiguration from Becoming a Major Issue
A firmware update triggers abnormal data consumption across a subset of your connected devices. Without unified intelligence, you may risk unnecessary rollbacks, field interventions or downtime.
You resolve the issue quickly, avoid unnecessary operational work and maintain confidence that it was a misconfiguration—not a security incident.
Monitoring detects the spike through anomaly detection.
Analysis correlates it to the firmware event.
Control applies temporary policy rules to contain the impact.
Protection confirms no threat activity is involved.
Delivering Audit-Ready Evidence in Minutes Instead of Weeks
During an audit, you’re asked to explain a historical anomaly and demonstrate the actions taken. Without centralized insight, gathering this information can be slow and incomplete.
You provide complete, verifiable audit evidence within minutes, strengthening your compliance posture and reducing manual investigation work.
Analysis retrieves the historical device behavior and root-cause context.
Monitoring verifies when the issue resolved.
Control shows that policies held throughout the event.
Protection confirms no malicious activity was involved.
Enabling Usage-Based Billing and Monetization Models
Your IoT program supports multiple applications, customers or service tiers, but existing billing or rating systems lack the network-level visibility and enforcement needed to accurately measure, separate and govern usage. Without enforceable controls, monetization models are difficult to implement and overages or revenue leakage become common.
You generate accurate, policy-backed usage data that can be fed into existing billing and rating systems, enabling usage-based pricing, tiered services and cost recovery—without introducing new billing infrastructure.
Monitoring provides detailed visibility into application- and destination-level traffic patterns.
Analysis correlates usage behavior to specific devices, policies or service tiers.
Control applies segmentation and policy enforcement to distinguish billable usage from core operational traffic.
Protection ensures monetized services are isolated and secured.
