The CISO’s Shield for Critical Infrastructure. Eliminate OT blindspots. No hardware. No cloud. No excuses.
- Air-Gap Ready. No Cloud Dependency. Fully self-hosted and deployable in offline, isolated, and offshore environments
- No Sensors. No New Attack Surface. Pure software discovery — nothing added to the network that wasn't already there
- One Inventory. Every Site. Upstream fields, midstream pipelines, and downstream refineries unified into a single, live asset record
Why Oil & Gas CISOs choose OTbase over every alternative
Built for environments where cloud is not an option
OTbase runs entirely within your perimeter. No data leaves your environment. No vendor-controlled infrastructure sits between your OT assets and your inventory. Every device record, every firmware version, every network segment stays on-premise.
For offshore platforms, remote pipeline stations, and air-gapped control rooms, this is not a preference. It is the only viable architecture. OTbase is designed for it from the first deployment.
Discovery that does not disrupt what cannot go down
Active scanning in OT environments carries real risk. OTbase uses a dual-discovery engine — passive traffic analysis identifies devices without touching them, while safe active querying retrieves deep asset metadata only where it is appropriate to do so.
The result is a complete, accurate inventory built without a single production disruption. No maintenance windows required. No coordination with operations before you can see what is on your network.
Depth of data that actually changes security decisions
Device names and IP addresses are not an inventory. OTbase captures firmware versions, hardware revisions, serial numbers, backplane card detail, and network topology — structured asset records that support real CVE mapping, real patch prioritization, and defensible compliance documentation.
The difference between a device list and an OT asset inventory is the depth of what you know about each asset. OTbase delivers the latter.
Your incident response team is triaging threats against assets it cannot fully enumerate.
Oil and Gas OT environments are built over decades. Dozens of vendors. Multiple generations of PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, and safety systems, running protocols that predate modern cybersecurity by twenty years. No single engineer knows everything that is connected.
That gap between what your team believes is on the network and what is actually running is where incidents originate and where they escalate. An attacker does not need to breach a known asset. They need to find one you forgot.
Regulatory frameworks including IEC 62443 and TSA Pipeline Security Directives do not treat asset visibility as optional. They require a current, maintained inventory as a foundational control. What most organizations have instead is a spreadsheet last updated before the most recent maintenance cycle.
What CISOs Carry When Inventory Is Incomplete
-
Undetected lateral movement An asset your team does not know about cannot be monitored. Attackers identify and pivot through undocumented devices before any alert fires.
-
CVE exposure you cannot prioritize Without knowing the exact firmware versions and device models in your environment, you cannot map published vulnerabilities to your actual installed base. Patch prioritization becomes guesswork.
-
Compliance findings that expose the organization Auditors require a current, documented asset inventory. A spreadsheet reconstructed under deadline is not a control. It is evidence that the control does not exist.
-
Incident response operating blind When a security event occurs in an OT environment, response speed depends entirely on knowing what is there. An incomplete inventory turns every incident into an extended discovery exercise at the worst possible moment.
One inventory. From the wellhead to the refinery gate.
Upstream fields, midstream compressor stations, and downstream processing facilities each maintain their own records. Local spreadsheets. Disconnected CMDBs. Documentation that reflects what was installed years ago, not what is running today.
OTbase replaces all of it with a single, automatically refreshed inventory built directly from what is live on your network. Every facility. One view. No manual reconciliation.
- No consistent asset record across sites — each facility maintains its own documentation
- Inventory reflects last manual audit, not current network state
- CVEs cannot be mapped to specific devices without knowing exact firmware versions
- Compliance documentation is assembled manually before each audit cycle
- Acquired facilities remain invisible to the central security team until a project is funded
- One live inventory spanning every upstream, midstream, and downstream site
- Asset records refresh automatically every 24 hours without manual input
- CVEs mapped to the exact device models and firmware versions in your environment
- Compliance exports generated directly from the live inventory in hours
- New facilities are discovered and added to the inventory as soon as they connect to the network
How OTbase builds and maintains your OT inventory
OTbase runs locally at each site. No OT traffic transits external networks. Structured asset data — not raw packets — flows to your central inventory instance.
An acquired field is a new attack surface. OTbase sees it from day one.
Every acquisition in Oil and Gas brings an OT environment that the acquiring CISO has never seen. Unknown vendors. Unknown firmware. Unknown network topology. The exposure exists from the moment the transaction closes, regardless of when the integration project is funded.
OTbase discovers the acquired environment using the same process it used for every other facility. Connect it to the network. It finds what is running. The inventory expands automatically.
- The acquired site appears in the central inventory from first network connectivity
- CVE mapping applies to the new environment immediately — no manual data entry
- No separate onboarding project. No additional budget cycle required
- The CISO has a complete asset record before the first board update on the acquisition
The gap between acquisition and visibility is where attacks happen.
Every unmanaged device in an acquired environment is a potential entry point that your existing security controls do not cover. The longer that environment remains undocumented, the longer that exposure accumulates.
OTbase closes the window between acquisition and visibility. From the day the new site connects to the network, its assets are part of your inventory, your CVE mapping, and your compliance record.
Not at the end of a six-month integration project. Not after a budget approval. From day one of network connectivity.
