Beyond Discovery: Deep Asset Intelligence Across Complex OT & CPS Environments

In OT and cyber-physical environments, knowing that a device exists is only the beginning. Effective asset visibility requires a detailed understanding of each asset’s pedigree: manufacturer, device type, model, MAC and IP addresses, operating system, firmware or software version, service pack, communication protocols, and other available technical attributes. ICSFusion combines passive network discovery, industrial protocol analysis, and multiple data-enrichment techniques to build a rich and continuously updated inventory of OT, IoT, and cyber-physical assets without relying on a single discovery method.
This becomes particularly important in complex industrial architectures where not every device is directly visible as a traditional IP endpoint. ICSFusion is designed for multi-architecture environments and can enrich asset information using network traffic, industrial protocols, engineering and project files, and additional data-collection methods. This helps organizations gain deeper visibility into devices and components that may sit behind controllers, gateways, or specialized industrial communication architectures, creating a more complete operational context than a simple IP/MAC-based inventory.
Not every pedigree attribute, however, can be automatically obtained from every device. Information such as serial numbers depends heavily on the manufacturer, protocol, available traffic, and accessible data sources. Rather than generating or assuming unavailable attributes, ICSFusion focuses on evidence-based asset identification and enrichment. Where additional information is available through supported protocols, project files, integrations, or other collection mechanisms, it can be incorporated into the asset context helping security teams move from basic asset discovery toward a reliable, actionable, and continuously managed OT asset inventory.



Every Asset Has Its Own Risk Profile

Every asset has its own criticality, exposure, and risk context. ICSFusion dynamically evaluates these factors and continuously scores each asset, helping teams understand what matters most across the evolving OT & CPS risk landscape.
Asset Scores and Asset Meta Data

Know Every Asset Beyond Its IP Address

Each asset is enriched with detailed context, including manufacturer, model, firmware, operating system, network information, and other available technical attributes building a deeper understanding of what is actually running across your OT & CPS environment.

Deep Asset Details & Context

Go beyond basic identification with protocols, IP and MAC addresses, communication baselines, network activity, threats, vulnerabilities, risk context, and topology relationships bringing each asset’s behavior, exposure, and connections into a single view.

Hardware Module (Nested Device)& Serial Number Visibility

ICSFusion can identify hardware modules associated with an asset and enrich them with available details such as module type, model, manufacturer, and serial number. This provides deeper component-level visibility into the hardware that makes up complex industrial assets, where supported by the available data source.
