Growing OT risks
Security controls like firewalls, network segmentation, and strict access controls are vital. No setup is immune to failure. When an attacker gets through, early detection becomes critical.
At the same time, industrial networks are exposed to a growing range of risks: targeted attacks, misconfigurations, and unauthorized devices. Disruptions across OT systems, including SCADA and ICS, can directly impact operational safety, halt production, and compromise business continuity.
The solution: OT Monitoring
OT monitoring gives you real-time insight into your assets and network traffic. It helps you detect unusual activity, respond quickly and limit damage. It also supports compliance efforts under frameworks like IEC 62443 and NIS2 by showing control and improving response readiness.
More than just a technical tool, OT monitoring connects data to decision-making. It gives you the visibility to detect issues early and the context to act with focus. With our OT Monitoring Advisory service, we advise you on how to design, assess and improve your monitoring setup, so it fits your environment and supports your security goals.

Stronger decisions
Make informed choices about tools, vendors and deployment models
How OT monitoring works
01
Assessment and planning
We start by mapping your OT assets, network topology and critical systems. This helps define monitoring requirements and select a suitable deployment model.
Key activities include:
Asset discovery: Identifying ICS devices, network segments and critical production areas
Infrastructure review: Listing networking hardware, checking sensor placement options and readiness
Monitoring approach: Choosing between passive, active or offline data collection methods
Requirement definition: Aligning monitoring with your risk profile, architecture and compliance needs
The outcome is a tailored plan that defines what to monitor, how to collect the data and how to integrate it with your broader security operations.
02
Deployment support
With the rollout plan in place, we support you in selecting and implementing the right OT monitoring setup. This includes a proof of concept to validate the chosen approach in your environment.
Key activities include:
Vendor selection: Evaluating solutions that fit your technical and operational needs
Pilot deployment: Defining success criteria and testing effectiveness before full rollout
Rollout planning: Supporting design and documentation to ensure alignment with your security framework
After implementation by your integrator, we verify that the setup matches the plan.
03
Optimization support
After deployment, we focus on improving monitoring accuracy, reducing noise and embedding the solution into daily operations.
Key activities include:
Detection tuning: Adjusting thresholds and alert logic to lower false positives and validate anomalies with operators
SIEM integration: Connecting OT monitoring to your central logging and incident response workflows
Handover and training: Delivering documentation and sessions to help your team manage, interpret and improve the setup independently
The goal is a reliable, low-maintenance monitoring function your team can work with.
