Octave Puts Trusted Industrial Data at the Center of OT Cybersecurity

Octave is revamping its cybersecurity and operational technology software portfolio with a broader platform strategy emphasizing trusted industrial data, operational resilience, and ecosystem integration. A key component of this strategy is Octave Cyber Integrity, which addresses the need for accurate, detailed, and continuously updated information regarding assets, configurations, vulnerabilities, and changes across diverse control system environments in the world of OT.

Octave is positioning Cyber Integrity as a reliable foundation for OT cybersecurity by integrating deep configuration-based asset identification with broader industrial data sources. This approach signifies an intensified commitment and acceleration of capabilities to provide the market with continuously maintained, accurate cybersecurity data, which is critical for operational resilience, risk prioritization, ecosystem collaboration, and AI-enabled decision-making.

Octave takes a different approach from traditional OT asset discovery models that mainly rely on passive network monitoring or active scanning. The company emphasizes configuration-based visibility using backups and control system data to create a comprehensive representation of industrial assets, including devices from Level 0 to Level 3.5, as well as firmware, software, I/O, control strategies, patch status, and configuration baselines. This method is well-suited for critical infrastructure environments where active interrogation of control assets could introduce operational risks.
