How is OT-BASE different from “ICS Detection” products?
There are around 30 products in the “ICS Detection” category, but OT-BASE isn’t one of them. You may have a hard time understanding how one ICS Detection product is different from the next, but it’s easy to see how OT-BASE is different from any of those. We don’t even claim to be better — we are targeting different customers and use cases. The following comparison helps you to determine if OT-BASE may be better for you. It most likely is if you lean more to the right side. If you lean to the left side instead, OT-BASE is not for you.
Helps you to build and maintain a baseline OT cyber security capability that can be verified and documented
Delivers value when it actually does detect a real cyber attack in OT networks — which may be once in a decade, or never
Delivers value every day for mundane use cases such as OT network management, firmware management, and maintenance
Assumes that you have a Security Operations Center; SOC analysts are the primary users of the solution (small number of users)
Caters to engineering, maintenance, IT, and cyber security (large number of users from different departments and contractors)
Software-only solution that doesn’t even need to run in every subnet as it supports remote discovery
Uses active probing with legitimate industrial protocol functions to gather asset information
Strong on minute asset details such as software configuration, serial numbers, network connectivity
Automatic network topology diagrams (layer 1, 2, and 3)
Change management, system management (production lines, DCS) and baselining, problem management, product lifecycle management
Assumes users want to enrich data using existing documentation (attachments), user defined database fields, metadata imports etc.
Promises to make your engineers, maintenance specialists, administrators, and threat hunters more efficient
Attempting to manage growing OT/ICS networks with office applications and manual data entry is not a strategy. It’s a waste of time.
Do you use manually maintained Excel and Visio documents to manage your OT networks? Then you are wasting precious resources. The OT-BASE OT Asset Management System automatically collects OT configuration details and makes them accessible for the whole team, no matter if in different departments, at a home office, or at a contractor’s location.
LEGACY OT DOCUMENTATION
Incomplete, outdated Excel, Visio & wiring diagrams: Unsuited for collaboration and remote access
OT-BASE
Designed for complex OT/ICS infrastructures and collaboration, always up-to-date configuration details
Unlike “ICS detection” solutions which put all the emphasis on hypothetical cyber attacks and the alleged threat actors behind them, OT-BASE focuses on the people responsible for keeping OT infrastructures reliable, safe, and secure.
OT-BASE helps engineers, maintenance specialists, system administrators, and auditors to get more stuff done in less time. It covers the most basic (yet important and time consuming) activities such as IP address management as well as the most complex tasks, such as mapping multi-site network topologies.

Comprehensive configuration data. No hardware sensors. No SPAN ports and discovery networks. Remote discovery.
Only active discovery does that for you. That’s why we are using it.
Approaches like Langner’s active communication with the devices, combined with manual entry and adjustment, is what will lead to the single source of truth asset inventory.”

Integrate and share.
Gone are the days when asset data was locked in a silo. The more you can integrate with existing platforms, and share with other users, the more value you get out of your data. Workflows become streamlined. Users become more efficient. Projects are finished earlier.
Integrated with a policy framework
The Simple Cyber Governance Program shows you in detail, step by step, how to arrive at sustainable OT security, and how to leverage OT-BASE for maintaining a solid cyber security posture.
Find the license plan that’s right for you.
OT-BASE is licensed based on volume. You pay for the number of digital devices, regardless of the number of users, networks, or sites.
License fee per device degrades with the number of devices. The more devices you manage with OT-BASE, the lower the cost per device. Best of all, if you manage multiple sites with OT-BASE, license fees are calculated based on the cummulative number of devices, not based on the number of devices per site.
You can choose between three different license plans, picking the one that best fits your budgetary requirements.
Perpetual on-premise license (CAPEX spending)
By purchasing a perpetual license, you have the right to use the software indefinitely. License cost is paid upfront. Technical support and access to version upgrades is sold separately and is mandatory for the first year. After the end of the first year, you have the option to purchase yearly ongoing maintenance and support.
Annual on-premise subscription (OPEX spending)
With an annual subscription, you pay to use the software on premise for one year with the right to renew at the end of the period. During the term of your subscription, you get technical support and access to version upgrades. The cost of the subscription is less than the upfront cost of a perpetual license; however, at the expiration of the term, you no longer have the right to use the software.
Monthly Cloud subscription (project based)
With a subscription to OT-BASE Cloud, you can use OT-BASE in the Cloud, and can cancel your subscription to the end of the month. At the end of each month you will be billed for the maximum number of devices in OT-BASE during that calender month. During the term of your subscription, you get technical support, and OT-BASE Asset Center will automatically be updated for you. This license plan is most often used by consultans / service providers who use OT-BASE on a project basis to conduct asset inventories and cyber risk assessments.
