CHALLENGE
Understanding Where System Vulnerabilities Lie
The Challenge
How Do You Know Which Sensors, Controllers and IoT Devices are Vulnerable?
Transportation and logistics operational environments contain thousands of devices from multiple vendors. For example, assets that track equipment performance, humidity and luminosity are used in passenger and luggage screening systems, environmental and lighting controls, and so much more.
Unfortunately, most operational devices lack the built-in security required to keep passengers, data and systems safe. Many OT and IoT assets are missing the authentication, encryption, and other security standards that typically apply to IT applications and systems.
Which leaves you with more questions than answers – such as, which devices are vulnerable and in need of better protection? And, which ones require firmware updates or other actions to close the door on cyber risks?
The Solution
Automated Vulnerability Assessment Identifies At-risk Assets
The Nozomi Networks solution addresses this operational challenge by automatically identifying operational system vulnerabilities. It uncovers weak spots and prioritizes critical exposure points, so you can proactively address them before they’re exploited.
The solution helps you answer questions such as:
- Are devices from Vendor X vulnerable?
- How many assets on our network are still running Windows XP?
- Do I need to update certain devices because their firmware is vulnerable?
To help your security team prioritize high level exposure points, it displays all vulnerabilities by vendor, severity level and more – all in one dedicated view. Plus, it offers drilldown on each vulnerability for deeper troubleshooting and remediation assistance

Automated vulnerability assessment helps you rapidly identify which vendor’s devices are at risk, and focus your remediation efforts on top priorities.
Automated OT/IoT Vulnerability Assessment
Guardian identifies all known vulnerabilities for devices on your network, while Smart Polling goes further to confirm the specific devices with unaddressed vulnerabilities. It discovers firmware, patch level and other device details not identified with passive analysis, and confirms which ones need attention.
More Operational Visibility & Cyber Security Challenges
Gaining Deeper Visibility into Multi-System Operations
Without visibility into all the devices on my OT/IoT networks, it’s hard to monitor how passenger, cargo and other services are operating.
Preventing Operational Disruption and Downtime
To efficiently move thousands of people and products every single day, my automated systems can’t be down for even a minute.
Detecting Malware Before It Impacts Operations
To prevent malware from spreading across my transport & logistics management systems, I need real-time threat and anomaly detection.
