Nozomi Networks

Enriching OT and IT asset visibility in Nozomi Vantage with public-IP FQDN enrichment data from DNS Reverse Lookup for Public Nodes.

About
Nozomi Networks

DNS Reverse Lookup for Public Nodes is a utility that enriches public IP nodes with Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) information by performing reverse DNS lookups. By integrating DNS Reverse Lookup for Public Nodes with Nozomi Vantage, security teams gain a consolidated view of managed assets across IT and OT environments — importing public-IP FQDN enrichment data directly into Vantage. This enriches the asset registry with authoritative data from the Nozomi Networks management plane, accelerating incident investigation, reducing blind spots in critical infrastructure environments and enabling analysts to correlate dns enrichment telemetry with OT network observations without switching consoles.

Features

Importer Data Types

Vantage imports the following from
DNS Reverse Lookup for Public Nodes
:
  • Asset Details Enrichment and Create New in Vantage

    DNS Reverse Lookup for Public Nodes supplies records including public IP address, resolved FQDN, DNS resolver source and lookup timestamp — to enrich existing Vantage assets and create new asset records for endpoints not yet observed on the OT network.

Joint Use Cases

  • Correlating Nozomi Networks signals with OT network alerts

    When Nozomi Vantage raises an anomaly alert for a device inside an OT segment, the analyst can pivot to the same asset's DNS Reverse Lookup for Public Nodes record in Vantage to review resolved hostname and DNS-resolver metadata, all without leaving the Vantage investigation workflow. This cross-layer correlation surfaces whether a network-layer anomaly coincides with activity observed by Nozomi Networks, reducing the time needed to confirm or dismiss an incident.

  • Closing asset inventory gaps across IT and OT

    Devices recorded by DNS Reverse Lookup for Public Nodes but not yet observed by Nozomi network sensors are automatically created as new asset records in Vantage, populated with public IP and resolved FQDN drawn from the Nozomi Networks management plane. OT operations teams can audit the resulting unified inventory to identify unmonitored or underprotected assets in industrial and critical infrastructure zones, then prioritize sensor deployment accordingly.

  • Enriching public-facing OT-adjacent assets with FQDN context

    Public IPs observed by Vantage are resolved via DNS Reverse Lookup for Public Nodes to FQDNs, providing human-readable context for incident investigation and asset attribution on OT-adjacent network segments.

Integration Prerequesites

  • Active Nozomi Vantage tenant with the connector-configuration role assigned to the administering account
  • Outbound DNS resolution available from the Vantage tenant to the chosen public DNS resolver (Google, Cloudflare or custom)
  • Consistent hostname, IP or MAC addressing between DNS Reverse Lookup for Public Nodes-recorded assets and Vantage-observed assets to enable accurate asset correlation and deduplication
  • Outbound network connectivity from Vantage to the source-tool API endpoint over HTTPS (this prerequisite is a deployment placeholder and may be adjusted to match your environment)
  • Outbound network connectivity from Vantage to the source-tool API endpoint over HTTPS (this prerequisite is a deployment placeholder and may be adjusted to match your environment)
