Manage OT assets without disrupting operations.
Customize and extend Lansweeper to adapt to your evolving OT environment.
Manage OT assets your way – even completely on-premises!
As IT and OT increasingly converge on the network, organizations are at far greater risk of downtime and cyber attacks. Complete visibility and control across all IT-OT systems and devices is essential. Unfortunately, that’s a tall order – OT is sometimes expensive and difficult to update or replace. Outdated devices can pose a significant risk, but taking them offline means interrupting business operations. As a result, they often run for years continuously with little maintenance – and they’re vulnerable.
Lansweeper empowers OT administrators to overcome challenges in OT asset management with comprehensive visibility and control, providing a unified solution that facilitates IT-OT convergence.
Lansweeper OT makes asset discovery a seamless, unified experience. We’ve integrated OT protocols from manufacturers like Siemens, Rockwell Automation, Mitsubishi Electric and Schneider Electric into our market-leading asset discovery engine, so it can automatically identify and catalog the vast majority of OT assets. Lansweeper simplifies the transition from outdated Excel spreadsheets to a modern OT asset management system – and it works in the cloud or on-prem, so there’s no need to install agents on your network!
OT assets are an integral part of your organizational attack surface, just like any IT device – if they’re not updated or replaced, they become susceptible to attacks. In 2022 alone, there was a 140% increase in the number of cyber attacks, with more than 150 industrial operations impacted. Using advanced scanning capabilities, Lansweeeper detects known vulnerabilities across connected devices and identifies outdated software versions, missing security patches and other potential weaknesses. This helps to prioritize patching and remediation efforts, reducing the attack surface and mitigating potential OT security risks to keep your operations safe and secure.
Like any technology asset, OT devices have a lifecycle – and staying on top of it is crucial. Critical asset failures can lead to production delays, financial losses, and reputational damage. Lansweeper empowers you to track vital data about OT obsolescence risks, just like you can with your IT assets. Having information on the lifecycle of OT assets can assist in ensuring optimal availability of these assets. This involves proactive and predictive maintenance, as well as timely replacement of assets or parts to minimize disruptions.
Additionally, understanding the lifecycle of your OT assets helps to optimize resource allocation. With up-to-the-minute insights into OT assets within control systems, you can enhance resource utilization, decrease unnecessary expenses and boost operational efficiency.
Lansweeper empowers users to conduct rigorous security compliance audits against top industry standards and regulatory requirements – NIST, CIS, IEC 62443, and more – simplifying compliance while reducing costs and risk. The platform checks all OT devices and configurations against predefined IT and OT security benchmarks, highlighting any deviations that could leave systems vulnerable. This proactive approach ensures that your OT assets not only adhere to security best practices but also meet compliance mandates, significantly reducing the risk of cyberattacks.
Lansweeper’s powerful integration capabilities bring together a variety of top-tier security tools and platforms, including antivirus solutions, SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems, and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS). This robust integration not only centralizes your IT and OT monitoring and management but also enhances your ability to quickly detect threats and respond to incidents.
