What is Industrial Monitoring?
The move to Industry 4.0 is merging IT and OT. The possibilities of a completely networked industrial infrastructure are unimagined: industrial plants can be centrally controlled, external employees can monitor production processes from outside and control machines in real time. However, most SCADA systems are not designed to monitor a merged network.
This is where a monitoring solution can help. In cooperation with competent partners whose solutions are tailored to the specific requirements of industrial customers, Industrial Monitoring enables full monitoring of your entire industrial plant - in real time.
Industrial monitoring offers the great advantage of not only being able to recognise OT protocols, but also to understand them.
Deep packet inspection makes it possible to see in detail what was sent from where within the industrial network.
The solution is not only limited to OT, but can also be used to monitor IT and IoT. It does not matter whether the protocols are IT (IP), IoT (Zigbee) or OT (Modbus, Siemens S7). Industrial monitoring solutions can monitor and understand all common protocols.
What are the advantages of industrial monitoring?
Attacks on OT often start on IT devices that monitor or control OT assets. Therefore, a fully comprehensive monitoring solution is more important than ever.
Another advantage of monitoring is that the system is able to inventory and map the entire IT and OT infrastructure. A sophisticated monitoring solution is able to identify devices and collect information such as serial numbers, device types, manufacturers and model specifications as well as operating system and software versions. This gives you a quick overview of which devices are used where and how up-to-date they are. Sophisticated monitoring solutions are even able to detect OT devices connected to a TCP/IP gateway via a serial interface. This overview can also be used to carry out a forensic analysis in the event of an attack.
Downtimes in productive environments are difficult to plan or implement. Therefore, sensors can be operated conveniently and comfortably via a mirror port on a switch. This allows a deployment to be carried out without affecting the network. Because sensors and the central server run on-premise, no sensitive data leaves the company network and you retain full control over the data. Our monitoring solution can monitor existing security gaps in existing devices and, thanks to machine learning, independently perform baselining and create corresponding rules and thresholds. This saves a lot of time and money.
