# Deploying Zero Trust For Iot Devices

## Overview

Deploy zero trust controls for IoT devices including device identity, network segmentation, and behavioral monitoring.

## Prerequisites

| Tool / Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| `azure-iot-hub` | Security tooling |
| `cisco-ise` | Security tooling |
| `palo-alto-iot` | Security tooling |
| Isolated lab environment for testing | Environment requirement |
| Authorization and signed Rules of Engagement (RoE) | Environment requirement |
| Relevant target samples or systems acquired through authorized channels | Environment requirement |

## Quick Reference

```bash
# Initialize working environment
mkdir -p /tmp/deploying-zero-trust-for-iot-devices/{output,logs,artifacts}

# Execute primary analysis with azure-iot-hub
echo "[*] Running Deploying Zero Trust For Iot Devices with azure-iot-hub..."

# Validate results with cisco-ise
echo "[*] Cross-validating with cisco-ise..."

# Generate summary report
cat /tmp/deploying-zero-trust-for-iot-devices/output/report.json
```

## Workflow

### Step 1: Preparation and Reconnaissance

```bash
# Identify target and gather initial intelligence
file ./target_sample
azure-iot-hub --version 2>/dev/null || echo "Install azure-iot-hub"

# Set up working directory
mkdir -p /tmp/deploying-zero-trust-for-iot-devices/{output,logs,artifacts}
```

### Step 2: Primary Analysis

```bash
# Execute primary analysis with azure-iot-hub
# Refer to Quick Reference above for detailed commands
echo "[*] Running Deploying Zero Trust For Iot Devices with azure-iot-hub..."

# Log all operations
script -q /tmp/deploying-zero-trust-for-iot-devices/logs/session.log
```

### Step 3: Deep Investigation

```bash
# Apply cisco-ise for secondary analysis
echo "[*] Deep investigation with cisco-ise..."

# Cross-reference findings
diff /tmp/deploying-zero-trust-for-iot-devices/output/primary.json /tmp/deploying-zero-trust-for-iot-devices/output/secondary.json
```

### Step 4: Documentation and Reporting

```bash
# Generate structured findings report
cat <<'EOF' > /tmp/deploying-zero-trust-for-iot-devices/output/report.json
{
  "technique": "deploying-zero-trust-for-iot-devices",
  "domain": "zero-trust",
  "tools_used": ["azure-iot-hub", "cisco-ise"],
  "findings": [],
  "recommendations": []
}
EOF
```
