Import Microsoft Defender for IoT sensors into the Network IDS (NIDS) class and take advantage of NIDS metadata assignment capabilities.
OT devices detected by sensors with validated NIDS records will be imported and assigned the metadata on the NIDS record automatically.
When Industrial Process Manager is also installed, sites can be assigned to detected OT devices, and access can be restricted to users on a per-site basis.
Support for importing OT-specific attributes, including zone and Purdue Model, to define the different levels of critical infrastructure.
Connection details of detected communication between OT devices are imported as relationships, which can be used to understand the context of any OT device.
Embedded OT Control Modules are created with relationships to the parent OT Control System, which can also be used to understand the context.
Data from additional sources like ServiceNow Discovery and Microsoft SCCM can be updated in the multisource CMDB.
Sensors located on IT networks (for example, in data centers) can be designated as “IT” and appropriate Configuration Item records and relationships can be created.
