The ICS Visibility Gap: Why Traditional Tools Fail

Legacy IT-focused discovery tools simply aren't built for industrial systems. They disrupt sensitive equipment, miss crucial ICS protocols, and leave OT environments exposed to risk.

Disruption Risks

Agent-based scans can interrupt PLCs, HMIs, and field devices—creating instability in critical OT operations.

Missing Coverage

Traditional discovery tools fail to detect legacy OT assets and proprietary ICS communication protocols, leaving major visibility gaps.

Compliance Pressure

Fragmented or incomplete OT visibility makes it difficult to meet regulatory frameworks like NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and industry-specific audit requirements.

What Is ICS Asset Discovery?

ICS Asset Discovery is the safe and passive process of identifying and monitoring every asset within an industrial control system environment—from programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and HMIs to RTUs and legacy OT devices.

Unlike traditional IT discovery methods, Secure.com uses agentless, passive network monitoring that listens to ICS communication patterns without disrupting operations. This approach ensures complete visibility while maintaining system stability in highly sensitive industrial environments.

Modern vs. Traditional Discovery

Traditional Asset Discovery

Limited and Reactive - Organizations face "too many tools" and "not enough clarity," resulting in "thousands of alerts—and zero clarity." Traditional approaches cause blind spots, misclassification, and dependence on manual tracking.

Periodic & Manual - Relies on infrequent network scans and manual spreadsheets that are tedious, error-prone, and quickly outdated.

Limited Scope - Often covers only on-premise IT assets while completely missing cloud resources, SaaS applications, and shadow IT.

Lack of Context - Provides raw technical data (like IP addresses) but lacks business context, ownership, and interdependency insights.

Modern Asset Discovery with Secure.com

AI/ML-Driven Discovery - Leverages machine learning for asset classification and for determining Asset Criticality Value based on system parameters and business context.

API-Based & Agentless - Uses advanced automated discovery through API polling and an agentless architecture, enabling organizations to be up and running within 30 minutes.

CMDB Integration - Builds a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) aligned with international standards and applies ML-based classification, improving accuracy by 40%.
