IoT Connectors

OT Security allows you to map all managed Internet of Things (IoT) devices to their respective application server by configuring the IoT Connector engine and synchronizing assets from the specific application server.

In the example of an IP camera, you can see the Video Management System (VMS) server that manages it. On the OT Security Inventory page, navigating to the VMS application server shows all the cameras that it manages on the Inventory > Related Assets page.

Note: By default, when importing assets from an IoT connector, OT Security imports the IP address along with the MAC address of the devices. To import only the MAC address, go to Local Settings > Environment Configuration > Assets Settings and disable the Fetch IP Address for IoT Assets option.

IoT Connectors Engine

OT Security includes an IoT Connector engine that you can integrate with your IoT/VMS servers.

This engine supports two connection methods: authenticating with a remote application API service or connecting via an agent. After integrating your application servers with the engine, OT Security imports all managed devices such as cameras, badge access systems, and fire panels.
