OT Visibility Scan
Understanding the real infrastructure and revealing risks.
Complete transparency into IT, OT, and unknown assets
Identify critical communication paths and segmentation risks
A concrete basis for decision-making regarding OT security and network segmentation
Do you need a prioritized assessment of your biggest operational technology risks?
Many industrial companies have only limited visibility into their OT and IT/OT environments. Networks that have evolved over time, a mix of vendors, and a lack of centralized documentation mean that systems are in operation without being fully understood or correctly categorized.
The result is blind spots in the infrastructure – precisely where security incidents can directly compromise the stability of production processes.
The Visibility Scan provides a structured overview of the entire IT and OT landscape. The goal is to systematically identify all relevant assets, communication relationships, and network paths as a basis for security and architectural decisions.
Clarity on the actual OT attack surface
Identification of unknown or undocumented systems
Visibility into critical segmentation deviations
Prioritized risk assessment based on business relevance
Reduction of operational and outage risks
Without reliable visibility into IT and OT, security measures remain fragmented and reactive. The OT Visibility Scan provides the necessary foundation for identifying risks, properly assessing them, and addressing them in a targeted manner.

OT Visibility Scan procedure
The OT Visibility Scan is structured as a 4-week assessment.
runZero serves as the technical foundation. The platform enables agentless discovery of assets in complex, heterogeneous IT and OT environments. This is accompanied by regular coordination meetings to interpret the results.

Analysis and final report
Understanding and assessing the actual attack surface
As part of the OT Visibility Scan, the IT and OT environments are analyzed in a structured manner to provide transparency regarding assets, communication relationships, and security-related risks, and to identify discrepancies between the planned architecture and actual operations.
Visibility into assets and communication
Identification of known and unknown IT and OT systems
Detection of undocumented network segments
Transparency into actual communication relationships in OT
Foundation for segmentation and security architecture
Visualized results in structured reports
Vulnerability and risk transparency
Outdated or unsupported systems (EOL/EOS)
Software and configuration risks on OT assets
Insecure OT protocols and gateways
Systems with public or unexpected network connections
Network segmentation verification against actual conditions
Comparison of target and actual segmentation
Missing or incorrect separation between IT and OT
Identification of “misplaced devices” outside defined zones
Discrepancies between design and actual communication
Result:
A realistic picture of the infrastructure and an overview of the actual risk situation.
