Bridging the Divide Between IT and OT Network Monitoring
Easily capture mirrored OT network traffic to identify assets, communications and risky behaviors without touching controllers.
Why Traditional IT Monitoring Fails in OT Environments
Operational Technology environments were never designed for internet connectivity—yet today, decades‑old PLCs, HMIs, and industrial controllers are increasingly linked to IT networks and cloud services. This brings forward new challenges for IT teams:
- Different business languages between IT and OT
- Blind spots between IT and OT networks
- Weak or nonexistent network boundaries
- Legacy systems cannot be patched but can be exposed by attackers
This shift exposes systems that rely on proprietary, non‑secure protocols to modern cyber threats they were never built to withstand, creating a high‑risk attack vector across factories, plants, and critical infrastructure.
What You Get with WhatsUp Gold OT Monitoring
As IT and OT environments converge, organizations need a monitoring solution that understands both worlds—and keeps production safe without disrupting operations. WhatsUp Gold OT Monitoring tool is purpose‑built to close the visibility gaps created when legacy industrial systems are connected to modern networks.
- Bridge the divide between IT and OT
- Passively analyze OT protocols
- Map communications across environments
- Detect unsafe and malicious behaviors
With unified visibility, OT‑aware analytics and multi‑site monitoring in one platform, the WhatsUp Gold solution helps teams spot blind spots, strengthen weak network boundaries, and protect unpatchable legacy systems from today’s cyber threats.
Extend Your IT/OT Monitoring Reach
WhatsUp Gold extends your existing monitoring into operational technology environments by supporting industrial protocols such as IEC104, Modbus, COAP, DLMS, DNP3, MQTT and more — allowing IT teams to see, understand, and monitor OT communications without disrupting production.
Monitored ICS P SCADA Protocols:
| IEC104 | MMS | MQTT |
| COAP | DLMS | S7COMM |
| GOOSE | Modbus | DNP3 |
Helping Prevent Threats from Crossing into Production
Once IT and OT networks are connected, attackers who breach IT systems gain a potential path into production environments. The WhatsUp Gold OT Monitoring solution detects early lateral movement by spotting abnormal east‑west traffic and unexpected cross‑zone communications, alerting teams before threats can propagate into critical OT systems.
From Unknown Assets to Complete Picture
Identify PLCs, HMIs, sensors, and industrial network devices using passive network traffic analysis—no scanning, no disruption.
Go beyond IP addresses with enriched asset context such as device type, protocol usage and communication patterns.
Visualize OT communications across zones to quickly spot unexpected connections, misconfigurations or risky pathways.
Get alerted when new devices appear, existing assets change behavior or communications drift from established baselines.
Correlate IT and OT visibility in one platform to understand how enterprise systems, remote access and cloud connections interact with production networks.
Maintain an always‑up‑to‑date OT asset inventory that supports audits, risk assessments, and incident investigations.
With clear asset ownership and communication context, teams can triage issues faster and respond with confidence.
Replace guesswork and tribal knowledge with clear, data‑driven insight into how OT assets are connected and behaving.
