OT Change and Configuration Management
The OTbase Change Management Workspace provides a structured workflow for planning configuration changes, to detect configuration drift, and to check configuration integrity. All in one easy-to-use tool.
Manage your OT
Configuration Change
The configuration of PLCs, HMIs, process networks shouldn’t be left to ad-hoc actions. Configuration change in OT environments should be managed even tighter than in IT, where misconfiguration cannot as easily result in downtime and loss of quality. Yet most asset owners have little to no means to plan and monitor OT configurations.
OTbase changes this. It provides easy means to avoid configuration change that is undesired, unapproved, or even outright counter-productive.
Here’s how it’s done:
Detect and track configuration change
OTbase automatically detects configuration changes of your OT devices, including firmware updates, ladder logic changes, and network changes. Changes will be highlighted in the event list. Users can also register for notifications about configuration change by email.
OTbase automatically maintains a configuration timeline for each device where you can check all configuration changes. In this examle we see that the firmware of a PLC was updated.
Plan and document configuration change
OTbase comes with a change management workflow that allows your team to plan and monitor scheduled configuration changes.
Monitor OT system integrity
OTbase comes with a release management workflow for OT systems (such as conversion lines or Distributed Control Systems). Once a system configuration is released, OTbase will inform you about any violations of system integrity.
OT vulnerability management is one of the most misunderstood topics in OT security. Let’s change this.
The OT Vulnerability Management Handbook from OTbase outlines a performance-based approach shaped by more than twenty years of experience in OT security consulting in everything from automotive factories to nuclear power plants. Topics include:
- A known vulnerabilities primer
- Understanding the foundation of OT vulnerability management
- Furnishing a mitigation strategy
- Planning and execution
- And Monitoring and reporting progress
