Build a contextualized OT asset inventory with automatic updates

Everybody agrees that a comprehensive OT asset inventory is an absolute must in today’s digital plants. Problem is, it used to be difficult and laborsome to arrive at a useful inventory. Why? Because you need more than just a list of IP addresses and host names.  You need exact configuration details of each devices, down to level zero. Firmware versions, serial numbers, installed apps, the works. OTbase delivers all of these, and also allows you to add valuable context information.

Auto-discovered technical device details

OTbase finds and stores detailed asset data that turns your asset database into supercharged documentation for engineering and OT security. The resulting asset inventory can be searched and filtered, comes with drill-down functionality and allows you to find the information you need within seconds. 

  • Manufacturer
  • Make and model
  • Hardware version
  • Serial number
  • Firmware version / installed software
  • IP and MAC addresses, plus network connectivity
  • I/O modules along with model, serial number and firmware version

Manually added device metadata

Add valuable asset details that cannot be discovered automatically, such as device description/function, criticality, target security level, documents… You can even define custom database fields for data that isn’t included in the standard database schema.

Asset context: Location, ISA-95, network, and more

Use multiple context dimensions such as asset geoloation (down to the cabinet level), ISA-95 functional context, network association (including auto-generated network topology maps), and device groups to make your asset inventory useful

Geolocation

IP address management

L1 network topology

ISA-95 functional context
OT network management

Product context

OTbase automatically exposes an asset’s link to its vendor product page, its product lifecycle status, and current firmware version (for many popular OT products). On top of that you can get an AI generated product context with a click of the mouse.

Asset health tracking

Track vital asset health parameters such as free hard disk space, memory consumption, and network reachability automatically in the interest of preventive maintenance. OTbase notifies you when health parameters call for attention.

The OT Asset Inventory Handbook outlines the requirements for an OT asset inventory that’s actually useful. You’ll read about: 

  • Legacy OT asset inventories 
  • Getting the must-have data from your devices 
  • Populating an OT asset inventory 
  • And managing access controls
