Managing Cyber Risk in Evolving
OT Environments
Industrial Defender Platform Key Features
Leading OT asset management solution providing the deepest, most comprehensive OT asset information for security and compliance. Offers deep asset inventory details, including software versions, vulnerabilities, patches, firewall rules, and PLC key switch positions. It serves as a centralized solution for OT asset management, change and configuration management, vulnerability management, and policy compliance.
Combining Industrial Defender’s platform with Garland Technology’s Network TAPs enhances situational awareness of the OT environment.
Garland Technology TAPs Key Features
Provide the deepest levels of visibility into the packet level data, with no impact to the live network. By ensuring 100% of network traffic is copied and transmitted to monitoring tools in real time, TAPs improve uptime and guarantee comprehensive packet visibility for security solutions. Garland TAPs are independent and cannot be hacked as they do not have an IP address or a MAC address, making them invisible to the network.
Garland EdgeLens Solution
Garland’s EdgeLens series is an advanced bypass TAP with built-in packet broker functionality that centralizes network traffic, making network tools more efficient by sharing network traffic with monitoring and security tools. EdgeLens provides visibility for a hybrid configuration of an active, inline network device and out-of-band tools, such as LiveAction. EdgeLens provides identical network traffic streams through the active inline device and to the capture engine of LiveAction LiveWire or LiveCapture. The benefits of both devices seeing the same traffic are:
• Correlated data for real-time monitoring and root cause analysis using network packets.
• Historical look back and playback of the network traffic.
• Validating and updating network policy changes and spotting anomalies.
• Network data recording for compliance and security forensics.
• Root cause analysis for application and network related problems.
TAP -> TOOL
How it Works
Garland Network TAPs: Analyze data from OT networks by mirroring network traffic. The tapped traffic can then feed into the Network Packet Broker, which combines, filters, and load balances the tapped traffic at scale into the Industrial Defender IDC data collector and/or management system.
Industrial Defender Collector (IDC): Analyzes the traffic, inventories all OT assets, and identifies vulnerable devices, cyber threats, and operational anomalies on your network.
Industrial Defender Central Manager (IDCM): Industrial Defender centralizes data with other OT asset management and configuration management data collected across the environment, making it reportable and actionable.
Together, Industrial Defender and Garland Technology deliver a robust, integrated OT asset management and security monitoring solution, allowing for enhanced compliance and operational resilience for industrial organizations.
Industrial Defender protects the world’s critical infrastructure from cyberattacks. As the leader in OT cybersecurity innovation, the company’s scalable platform is used by the largest organizations in the world to empower security stakeholders with actionable data about their OT and IIoT infrastructure, enabling them to make informed risk management decisions.

Bypass manages the availability of inline tools, preventing a single point of failure in the network by “bypassing” the device in the event it fails or needs to be updated. Reducing network downtime. Bypass is unique to the other TAP modes, as it is an inline use case not out-of-band.
