Build a contextualized OT asset inventory with automatic updates

PLCs, RTUs, VFDs, transducers, barcode readers, HMIs, operator panels, network switches, Windows PCs… How would all of them fit into an Excel table. Especially when hardware configuration such as I/O modules and network connectivity come into play. Don’t worry, OTbase got you covered.

Here’s why all your previous efforts towards an OT asset inventory didn’t work.

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

All the details that engineering and cyber security need

With active discovery, 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
  • Product lifecycle stage
  • User defined fields
  • File attachments
  • Exact geolocation down to cabinet level
  • Cyber-physical system association, e.g. work cell
  • Functional description

Device list

Inspect your OT devices in a list view with endless scroll, customizable columns, and powerful filter capabilities

I/O module list

Searching for a particular I/O module product, along with serial number ranges and firmware versions? Maybe in the process of identifying if you are affected by a new vendor product notification? The module list in OTbase will save you hours of unnecessary labor.

Comprehensive device profiles

With device profiles, double clicking on an entry in the device list opens the profile for that device, which contains all the information that is stored about that device. Including: 

  • Location
  • Lifecycle stage
  • Hardware configuration (I/O modules on the backplane)
  • Network connectivity
  • Network neighborhood topology diagram
  • Data flow
  • Known vulnerabilities
  • Asset health
  • Configuration timeline

Auto-detection of new devices

Had there been new devices added to the network last week? What about three weeks ago? OTbase tells the story. From the dashboard, simply double click an entry in the table to get all the details.

OT-BASE REST API

Check what software is installed on a specific device

See which operating system version, application software and libraries are installed on a specific OT device without having to log on to that device. The OT-BASE device profile has a full account of installed software that is automatically updated daily.

Browse a listing of all software, firmware, OS that you have installed

Browse your installed base for specific software, OS, firmware versions, using scope calibration, filtering, and sorting.

Find any hardware or software item in seconds

Which device is using a given IP or MAC address? Just type in the address in OTbase’s quick search field and press Enter. Bingo, there’s your device — along with all its details, such as make and model, location, installed firmware etc.

Granular access control

An enterprise-wide asset inventory requires that you can set access rights with high granularity. Some users shall only see what’s installed at a particular site, in a particular room, or cabinet. OTbase provides for all of this and also allows you to inherit user groups from your Active Directory.
