OT/ICS Security | Exposure Management for Industrial Networks

Your vulnerability management program covers IT. Your OT network is a different story.

Hive Pro extends exposure management into your OT and ICS environments. The same prioritization intelligence that protects your IT infrastructure, applied to the industrial control systems that keep operations running.

Operational technology networks were designed for uptime, not for the threat landscape they face today. PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, and field devices now share a threat surface with everything else. IT-centric VM tools were built for servers and endpoints, They simply don't understand industrial protocols like Modbus and DNP3, or hardware like a Siemens S7 PLC.

ICS Fusion partnership

Coverage across OT, IoT, and CPS environments

OT-native security, connected to Hive Pro's exposure intelligence.

Hive Pro's OT Security capability is built in partnership with ICS Fusion, a purpose-built CPS security platform with passive asset discovery, vulnerability orchestration, and compliance reporting across OT, IoT, and ICS environments. ICS Fusion brings the OT depth. Hive Pro brings the exposure management context. Together they close the gap between what your IT team knows and what's running on the plant floor.

OT environments carry the same CVEs as IT. They get 10% of the security tooling.

Traditional vulnerability management was built for IT. Standard VM tools push software agents, active scans, and long lists of CVSS scores. But on an operational network, taking down a legacy Siemens PLC or Modbus unit to fix a vulnerability means taking a six-hour hit to production.

The visibility gap

Legacy scanners skip right past industrial traffic like Modbus, DNP3, and EtherNet/IP. Assets exist that no scanner has ever seen.

The patching paradox

You can't patch a PLC mid-process. Teams need compensating controls, network isolation, and risk acceptance workflows. Most VM tools don't support this.

The convergence threat

Air-gapped OT networks no longer exist at most organizations. Remote access, cloud integration, and IT/OT convergence have created exposure paths that weren't there five years ago.

Map all your OT, IoT, and CPS assets. Without touching a device in operation.

Hive Pro OT Security uses passive monitoring to discover every connected device across your OT environment. No active scanning, no agents, no disruption to operations. Every asset is enriched with protocol, firmware, vendor, and vulnerability data. That inventory feeds directly into Hive Pro's exposure prioritization engine.

Asset Discovery

Passive monitoring identifies every device in your OT, IoT, and CPS environment. Including those in isolated, low-traffic, or legacy networks that active scanners miss. Configuration file parsing and selective queries fill the gaps without triggering operational systems.

Exposure Prioritization

Vulnerabilities are scored by operational impact, not just CVSS. A critical CVE on a non-communicating backup PLC is treated differently from the same CVE on an HMI with internet-facing remote access. Priority reflects your actual risk.

Operationally-Aware Mitigation

Patching isn't always an option in OT. Hive Pro OT Security generates compensating controls: network isolation, segmentation, and monitoring rules that reduce exposure without requiring a maintenance window.

Compliance Readiness

Maps directly to IEC 62443, NERC CIP, NIS2, and EPDK/EMRA frameworks. Compliance reports are generated from the same asset and vulnerability data, not built separately. Audit preparation takes hours rather than weeks.

Tested across the environments where downtime is measured in dollars per second.

OT security requirements differ significantly across sectors. A power utility managing grid stability, a refinery running continuous processes, and a hospital managing networked medical devices each have distinct operational constraints. Hive Pro OT Security is configured for the environment, not generic across all of them.

Energy & Utilities

Power generation, transmission, and distribution. NERC CIP compliance. Grid stability requirements. High consequence of disruption.

Oil & Gas

Refinery control systems, pipeline SCADA, offshore platforms. Remote and unmanned locations. Continuous process environments where a scan can trigger a shutdown.

Manufacturing

Discrete and continuous manufacturing. PLC-heavy environments. IT/OT convergence at the plant level. Supply chain connectivity introducing new attack paths.

Water & Wastewater

SCADA-controlled water treatment and distribution. ICS environments with limited IT staff. Critical infrastructure designation.

Transportation

Rail, ports, and logistics. Operational systems with direct safety implications. Mixing of commercial IT and purpose-built industrial systems.

Healthcare

Networked medical devices, building management systems, diagnostic equipment. FDA cybersecurity requirements for connected devices.

OT security tools map your devices. Hive Pro ranks which ones will get you breached.

Asset visibility is the baseline. Hive Pro connects that inventory to an exposure management engine that factors in real-world exploit activity, threat actor behavior, and the operational context of each asset. The output is a prioritized action list, ranked by what will actually cause damage in your environment.

IT + OT in one view

Vulnerabilities across your IT infrastructure and your OT environment appear in the same platform. No context switching between tools. No manual correlation.

HiveForce Labs threat intelligence

ICS-specific threat actor tracking and exploit intelligence from HiveForce Labs feeds directly into OT prioritization. Volt Typhoon targeting energy sector SCADA gets factored in automatically.

Passive discovery only

No active scanning in OT environments. Passive monitoring, configuration parsing, and selective queries preserve operational stability while achieving complete visibility.

Arbis AI for OT

Arbis AI investigates OT exposures, surfaces the ones with real exploit paths, and drafts compensating controls in plain language. Built for security teams that don't have OT specialists on staff.
