CHALLENGE
Improving Situational Awareness Across Properties
The Challenge
Staying on Top of All My Building Automation Systems
Building IT and OT staff face the challenging task of managing, monitoring and securing systems they can’t wrap their arms around. Not only are there hundreds to thousands of assets from many different vendors to keep track of, new sensors and IoT devices are often added and changed frequently.
Accurate visualization of your operational networks, including components and ongoing activity, speeds your ability to identify threats, troubleshoot anomalies and respond to incidents.
The Solution
Real-time Network Visualization
The Nozomi Networks solution improves situational awareness by automatically creating an intuitive visualization of your operational networks, allowing you to quickly see aspects of your OT/IoT systems you weren’t previously aware of.
Upon deployment, it immediately analyzes network traffic and builds a live, macro view containing extensive information, including:
- The identity of all entities communicating over the network
- Network traffic details such as throughput, protocols and open TCP connections
- Devices from all vendors
- Protocols used to communicate between nodes and zones
- Macro views and detailed data on endpoints and connections
- Visualization of multiple, geographically distributed properties (when deployed with the Central Management Console)
The solution supports drilldown, filtering by subnets and network segments, and exporting/printing the network structure and all of its details.
Plus, its unique process views help you identify operational changes before they impact cyber security or uptime. Examples include detecting a piece of equipment that’s slipping out of scope – before it fails, and identifying an operational variable with a value never seen before – that might be related to a malicious attack.

Within minutes of deployment, the solution visualizes the nodes of your automation networks, often revealing aspects you weren’t previously aware of.
Superior OT and IoT Visibility
Guardian delivers advanced network visualization capabilities that help you improve situational awareness and deepen your understanding of network structure and activity.
The Central Management Console makes it easy to monitor and manage OT security across distributed properties. A single console provides consolidated data access from Guardian deployments across all buildings.
More Operational Visibility & Cybersecurity Challenges
Gaining Complete Visibility into My OT/IoT Systems
Without visibility into all the IoT and OT assets and networks used across our properties, it’s hard to ensure system safety and security.
Understanding My Operational System Vulnerabilities
Knowing which vendor’s sensors, controllers and IoT devices are at risk of attack would help me focus my cybersecurity efforts.
Detecting Malware Infections in Building Systems
To prevent malware from spreading within a property or across my building portfolio, I need lightning fast threat and anomaly detection.
