An important aspect of actively monitoring for safety and reliability threats is maintaining a complete inventory of IT and OT assets. To keep an inventory complete and current, it cannot be managed manually. Networks and devices on the Process Control Network (PCN) change. New systems are added, existing systems are removed, and unauthorized devices may connect. For security and compliance, we must know what assets or devices exist at all times, which requires automated discovery.

An administrator can configure Integrity to gather data from assets or devices connected to the PCN. By referencing this data, you can learn valuable information about these assets or devices and accomplish the following goals:

  • Dynamically detect what is or is not on a PCN.

  • Detect previously identified assets or devices that are no longer on a PCN.

  • Ensure that the assets or devices are being managed.

An administrator configures automated asset discovery with the System Wide Settings in the Admin Utility.

For more information about this configuration, see Automated Asset Discovery.
