Background & Challenges Product Introduction Features
OT Asset Management Challenges
Difficult to trace
configuration modifications
Unclear data links Complex computer/software
configuration versions
Inventory (Profile) Management
Difficult to identify
defects/vulnerabilities
Inability to record configuration change process, unable
to identify and locate modified content.
Lack of timely and effective
management and upgrade
for computer and software
versions.
Various brands and types of manufacturers
Lack of a universal standard protocol
Difficult to understand detailed information
about I/O modules, firmware, and control logic
Lack of effective means to
display and analyze the
system logic relationships.
Lack of technical analysis
capabilities for configuration/logic defects or vulnerabilities.
Difficulties in Management and Maintenance
The industrial control systems (ICS) in production facilities involve a wide variety of brands, diverse computer
software versions, and dispersed units, making asset
management and maintenance increasingly challenging.
Engineers need to spend a significant amount of time on
information retrieval and troubleshooting.
InPlant Integrity digitalizes ICS assets based on processes to
establish the dynamic profile management of the control system
and centrally monitor the whole system. Quickly detects asset
operational risks, configuration defects, and any illegal configuration changes. This means you can identify issues and prevent ICS
risks promptly and effectively, all while keeping the plant safe and
secure.

Support patching and vulnerability management for industrial control network
devices.
Implement automated detection and localization of ICS system changes,
comparing pre and post-modification content to identify unauthorized
alterations.
Enable tracking of DCS/SIS logic/program changes, triggering automatic
alerts upon detection to quickly identify modified points and potential
risks.
Generate complete diagrams of instrument control loops, including
field instruments, control loops, and conversion components.
Display real-time data for instrument-related information and IO
tags, aiding in troubleshooting loop issues.
Break down cross-system configuration boundaries. Auto-generate
ICS hardware architecture and dependencies for quick understanding of system configuration.

Rising Safety Incidents with Tracing Challenges
ICS is experiencing an increase in security and safety
incidents caused by internal unauthorized operations,
malicious control, and modifications to configuration
program logic.
Significant Discrepancy Between
Actual System Operation and Perception
ICS inevitably undergoes numerous configuration changes or additions, leading to deviations in engineers'
understanding of the current system operation. When
process control issues arise, it becomes difficult for
engineers to identify which areas of the plant will be
affected.
