IT audits of OT don’t have to be painful and time consuming
In many organizations, crisis erupts when IT attempts to audit OT infrastructures. The process is not only time-consuming but will inevitably lead to frustration for everybody involved. Fact is, it’s completely unnecessary — OTbase lets you audit your global OT without even leaving the office.
Start with a contextualized OT asset inventory
Why travel to a remote site in order to figure out the number of outdated operating systems if you had that information right at your fingertips? Fact is, OTbase’s contextualized OT asset inventory has most of the data you need for your audit, and it’s always up to date.
Define configuration policies and have OTbase check compliance automatically
OTbase lets you specify configuration policies and will determine compliance or non-compliance right away, throughout your global OT infrastructure. Required software or firmware, prohibited software products, anti-virus installed and enabled, currency of AV signatures, Internet-exposed data flow… Just some of the criteria that you can use in your policies. The audit info is directly taken from the actual device configurations, which is updated every 24 hours.
Include cyber and business continuity risk
Because of the contextualized OT asset inventory that forms the core of OTbase, your audit can easily extend to cyber and business continuity risk. Need to reference system criticality, known vulnerabilities, or product obsolescence? Not a problem, all the data is at your fingertips.
Produce awesome reports, effortless
What’s an audit without a report? While OTbase already comes with a ton of built-in compliance reporting, it even lets you go fancy and create your custom dashboards in Microsoft Power BI. Your management will rave about it. Best thing: The OTbase Connector for Power BI makes sure that all your data is up to date.
Learn what OT asset management is all about
In complex OT networks, engineers can easily get lost when you have to rely on improper tools such as Excel and Visio.
The OTbase OT asset management software comes with a contextualized OT asset inventory, effective OT vulnerability management, automatic network topology and data flow diagrams, and OT obsolescence management. The OT Asset Management Handbook provides detailed explanations and practical use cases for each of these components.
