Inventory

OT Security's Automated Asset Discovery, Classification and Management provides an accurate, up-to-date asset inventory by continuously tracking all changes to devices. This simplifies sustaining of operational continuity, reliability and safety. It also plays a key role in planning maintenance projects, prioritizing upgrades, patch deployments, incident response and mitigation efforts.

Viewing Assets

All of the assets in the network are shown on the Inventory screens. Detailed data about each asset is shown, enabling comprehensive asset management as well as monitoring of the status of each asset and its related Events. The data shown in the Inventory screens is gathered using the OT Security Network Detection and Active Query capabilities. The All screen shows data for all types of assets. In addition, specific subsets of the assets are shown on separate screens for each of the following asset types: Controllers and Modules, Network Assets and IoT.

Note: The Network Assets screen includes all types of assets that aren’t included in the Controllers and Modules or IoT screens.

For each of the asset screens (All, Controllers and Modules, Network Assets and IoT), you can customize the display settings by adjusting which columns are displayed and where each column is positioned. You can also sort and filter the Asset lists as well as perform a search. For an explanation of the customization features, see Management Console UI Elements.

The following table describes the parameters shown on the Inventory screens.

Parameters marked with an “*” are only shown on the Controllers screen.

Parameter	Description
Name	The name of the asset in the network. Click the name of the asset to view the Asset Details screen for that asset (See Inventory.)
IP	The IP address of the asset. Note: An asset may have multiple IP addresses. Note: IP addresses labeled as Direct are ones with which Tenable has established a direct connection. If there is no label, it means Tenable has discovered the IP without direct communication. Note: Assets can be filtered by IP range. For more on filtering, see Management Console UI Elements.
MAC	The MAC address of the asset.
Network Segment	The Network Segment that the IP/s of this asset are assigned to.
Type	The type of asset, Controller, I/O or Communication, etc. see Asset Types.
Backplane*	The backplane unit that the asset is connected to. Additional details about the backplane configuration are shown in the Asset Details screen.
Slot*	For assets that are on backplanes, shows the number of the slot to which the asset is attached.
Vendor	The asset vendor.
Family*	The family name of the product as defined by the asset vendor.
Firmware	The firmware version currently installed on the asset.
Location	The location of the asset as input by the user in the OT Security asset details. See Inventory.
Last Seen	The time at which the device was last seen by OT Security. This is the last time that the device was connected to the network or performed an activity.
OS	The OS running on the asset.
Model Name	The model name of the asset.
State*	The device state. Possible values: Backup – the controller is running as a backup to a primary controller. Fault – the controller is in fault mode. NoConfig – no configuration has been set for the controller. Running – the controller is running. Stopped – the controller is not running. Unknown – the state is unknown.
Description	A brief description of the asset, as configured by the user in the OT Security asset details. See Inventory.
Risk	A measure of the degree of risk related to this asset on a scale from 0 (no risk) to 100 (extremely high risk). For an explanation of how the Risk score is calculated, seeRisk Assessment.
Criticality	A measure of the importance of this asset to the proper functioning of the system. A value is assigned automatically to each asset based on the asset type. You can manually adjust the value.
Purdue Level	The Purdue level of the asset (0=Physical process, 1=Intelligent devices, 2=Control systems, 3=Manufacturing operations systems, 4=Business logistics systems).
Custom Field	You can create custom fields to tag your assets with relevant info. The custom field can be a link to an external resource.
