Viakoo, Inc. provides an enterprise OT/IoT cybersecurity platform focused on discovering, securing, and governing connected devices and the applications tied to them. Its platform is built for cyber-physical environments where unmanaged or difficult-to-manage assets create operational and security risk across distributed sites. The company emphasizes high-fidelity discovery, vulnerability remediation, repatriation, and continuous governance rather than passive visibility alone.
Viakoo, Inc. positions its technology as agentless and automation-driven, helping organizations reduce risk across IoT, OT, ICS, and broader cyber-physical systems. Its approach combines device and application awareness with workflows for remediation and compliance, enabling customers to keep connected environments visible, operational, and secured. The portfolio also extends into service assurance for physical security and other mission-critical connected systems where uptime, auditability, and policy enforcement matter alongside cyber hygiene.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Viakoo, Inc. delivers agentless discovery, vulnerability identification, remediation, repatriation, and governance for connected device environments. Its capabilities span firmware updating, certificate lifecycle management, password policy enforcement, compliance reporting, and operational monitoring for cyber-physical systems. The platform is designed to work across loosely coupled and tightly coupled device environments, giving teams a more accurate view of assets, application dependencies, and device state.
Viakoo, Inc. supports integration with established discovery and exposure management ecosystems, including Armis, Forescout, Nozomi, and Claroty. It also provides REST APIs, a web interface, mobile access, database connectivity, and email-based workflows to extend operational use across security and infrastructure teams. For service operations, Viakoo, Inc. supports ticketing integrations such as ServiceNow and Remedy, helping customers connect remediation and assurance workflows with existing operational processes.
