Intrusion & Anomaly
Detection
What You Can't See Can Shut You Down
Industrial networks are targeted precisely because defenders have limited visibility. Standard IT security tools do not understand OT protocols and generate excessive false positives—or worse, miss genuine attacks entirely. Purpose-built OT intrusion detection changes this dynamic fundamentally.
The average dwell time for attackers inside industrial networks is measured in weeks, not hours. During this time, adversaries map your assets, identify high-value targets, and position themselves for maximum impact. Early, passive detection is the only way to interrupt this cycle without disrupting operations.
OT networks are increasingly targeted by nation-state actors and sophisticated ransomware groups who understand that operational disruption creates far greater leverage than data theft alone. Without anomaly detection tuned to your specific environment, these attacks remain invisible until the damage is already done.
What OT Intrusion Detection should do
Passive Network Monitoring
Continuously monitor all OT network traffic with zero active scanning. Capture and analyze communications between PLCs, HMIs, historians, and field devices without introducing any packets that could destabilize sensitive processes.
OT Protocol Behavioral Analysis
Establish a behavioral baseline for every device and every protocol on your network. Alert on deviations from normal—new commands, unauthorized connections, abnormal process values, or unexpected traffic patterns.
Asset Inventory & Vulnerability Mapping
Automatically build and maintain a live inventory of every connected asset, including firmware versions, communication patterns, and known vulnerabilities. Give your team the full picture needed to prioritize risk response.
Industrial IDS Features That Protect Operations
Real-Time Threat Alerting
Deliver high-fidelity alerts with full context—source, destination, protocol, behavior type, and severity—so your security team can respond immediately without investigating noise.
Vulnerability Assessment Integration
Correlate detected anomalies with known CVEs and OT-specific vulnerability databases to prioritize remediation based on actual exploitability and operational impact.
Risk Assessment & SACI Scoring
Apply CyInfra's SACI methodology (Safety, Availability, Confidentiality, Integrity) to quantify and rank risk across your OT environment. Focus resources where they matter most.
SIEM & SOC Integration
Description: Forward alerts and event data to your existing SIEM or security operations center. Support for standard log formats ensures seamless integration with enterprise security workflows.
