Overview
Industrial Defender is an OT Security & Compliance platform that has partnered with critical infrastructure sectors since 2006, including the largest utilities that operate under the most stringent OT security requirements. Our platform provides comprehensive asset data, vital endpoint information, historical context, and advanced change detection capabilities to address cyber risks across OT environments. Organizations rely on Industrial Defender as a single source of truth for operational asset information, enabling them to meet high regulatory standards effectively.
Key Platform Functions:
-OT Asset Management: Inventory and manage all details of OT hardware and software, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the asset landscape.
-Configuration Management: Maintain secure configurations and detect deviations from known good baselines to prevent potential security breaches.
-Vulnerability Management: Assess vulnerabilities and intelligently prioritize patching and mitigation efforts based on the associated risks.
-Monitoring and Alerting: Detect unapproved or suspicious changes, anomalous traffic, and potential adversarial activities.
-Compliance Management: Automate reporting for consistent assessment against regulatory frameworks and facilitate auditing procedures.
Our platform ensures that detailed and accurate OT asset data—including hardware, software, configurations, vulnerabilities, patches, firewall rules, and PLC key switch positions—is readily available. This depth of information and precision in data collection empowers organizations to proactively harden their security posture by addressing risks before they escalate into threats and monitoring ongoing changes or new exposures.
Through our integrated data collection approach, Industrial Defender provides vendor-agnostic support for any OT system, device, asset, hardware, or software. By blending passive monitoring with operationally safe active discovery, we guarantee comprehensive visibility without disrupting critical processes.
Trusted by organizations in highly regulated environments, Industrial Defender maintains security and compliance readiness with leading standards and regulations such as NERC CIP, NIS2, TSA Directives, Saudi OTCC, and Australia’s AESCSF, among others.

How we are different
- Comprehensive and Accurate Asset Visibility: Unlike vendors that market "visibility" through passive network monitoring alone, Industrial Defender ensures true OT asset visibility by actively confirming deep-level system details. Our integrated approach combines passive monitoring with operationally safe active discovery, allowing us to validate and collect accurate, detailed asset data. Passive monitoring captures only inferred data from actively communicating devices, often leading to gaps, inaccuracies, and an incomplete picture of the OT environment. This method fails to confirm critical details like configuration settings—needed for effective security hardening and understanding security postures. Industrial Defender's approach ensures organizations have the trusted insights required for both rigorous security and comprehensive compliance, bridging the visibility gap left by traditionally passive solutions.
- Trusted Compliance Expertise: Industrial Defender has been trusted since 2006 by organizations in highly regulated environments. Our platform supports compliance with leading standards and regulations, such as NERC CIP, NIS2, TSA Directives, Saudi OTCC, and Australia’s AESCSF, with reporting for all leading OT security frameworks available out of the box in our robust policy library. Additionally, our capabilities extend to assessing and reporting conformance with organizations' own company policies, ensuring that both external regulations and internal guidelines are consistently met.
-Dedication to OT Security: Since our founding in 2006, Industrial Defender has maintained a focus exclusively on OT security. As a privately held, U.S.-owned, and U.S.-developed company, we remain one of the few truly vendor-agnostic providers in the industry. We are able to focus on strong commitment and service to our customers.
