    • The Operational Technology (OT) Manager dashboard helps you manage your OT device and vulnerability data in a centralized location. The OT Manager dashboard contains the OT Devices tab and the OT Vulnerabilities tab for easier organization and access your respective data.

    OT Devices tab

    The OT Devices tab is a centralized location in the Industrial Workspace's OT Manager dashboard. You can use this tab to review your Operational Technology Manager and Industrial Process Manager data. You can also use it to review or edit the detailed information for the OT devices and equipment model entities in your OT network.

    The OT Devices tab in the Industrial Workspace's OT Manager dashboard enables you to do the following actions:

    • Understand what OT device information changed in your OT network in the past week.
    • View the progress of an OT device inventory through an industrial facility.
    • Analyze your OT devices in meaningful ways. For example, you can gain insights into how many of your production devices map to your production processes.
    OT Devices tab contents

    To access the OT device data in the OT Devices tab, navigate to All > Industrial Workspace, select the OT Manager dashboard (OT Manager dashboard icon) icon, and then select the OT Devices tab. To access the key performance indicators (KPI) graph for any tile that is described in the following table, select the number count or chart component in the tile.

    The following table describes the OT device data that you can see on the different tiles in the OT Devices tab.

    Table 1. OT Devices tab
    Tile Description
    Updates from the past 7 days Number of the critical changes that are related to the OT devices that have occurred in your OT network in the last seven calendar days.
    Note:
    If the job ran successfully, there's a Last updated: timestamp that indicates the end time of the last collection. If the job is unsuccessful, there's a Last executed timestamp that indicates the end time of the last execution.
    New OT devices discovered Number of the new OT devices that were discovered by Discovery for Operational Technology and other automated processes in your OT network during the last seven calendar days.
    Inactive OT devices Number of the OT devices that haven't appeared in your OT network during the last seven calendar days. These devices are considered inactive.
    OT devices overview Number of the unclassified, unassigned, and unmapped OT devices in your OT network.
    Note:
    If the job ran successfully, there's a Last updated: timestamp that indicates the end time of the last collection. If the job is unsuccessful, there's a Last executed timestamp that indicates the end time of the last execution.
    Unclassed Number of the OT devices in your OT network that aren't assigned with an OT device type category.
    Unassigned Number of the OT devices in your OT network that aren't assigned to a user.
    Unmapped Number of the OT devices in your OT network that are not mapped to any equipment model entity for your assigned site.
    Note:
    This tile is only available when the Industrial Process Manager is installed because it requires that your organization has an equipment model for mapping OT devices to a production process.
    OT devices by category Number of the OT devices in your OT network, by their assigned OT device type classes.
    Supervisory systems Number of the OT devices in your OT network that are assigned to a Supervisory systems category.
    Control systems Number of the OT devices in your OT network that are assigned to the Control systems category.
    Note:
    Control modules aren’t included in this number.
    Field devices Number of the OT devices in your OT network that are assigned to the Field devices category.
    Computers and servers Number of the OT devices in your OT network that are assigned to the Computers and servers category.
    Network Gear Number of the OT devices in your OT network that are assigned to the Network Gear category.
    Industrial IoT Number of the OT devices in your OT network that are assigned to the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) category.
    OT devices by Purdue level Bar chart that indicates the number of OT devices in your OT network by their assigned Purdue level.
    Note:
    To learn more about the Purdue levels in the OT systems, see https://subscription.packtpub.com/book/networking_and_servers/9781788395151/1/ch01lvl1sec10/the-purdue-model-for-industrial-control-systems.
    OT devices by type (Top Level) Bar chart that categorizes the OT device data by the OT device types.
    OT devices by manufacturer (Top Level) Pie chart that indicates the number of OT devices in your OT network by their assigned manufacturer.
    OT devices by criticality Pie chart that indicates the number of OT devices in your OT network by their assigned criticality.

    OT Vulnerabilities tab

    The OT Vulnerabilities tab is a centralized location in the Industrial Workspace's OT Manager dashboard. You can use this tab to review your data from the Operational Technology Vulnerability Response application. You can also use it to review or edit the detailed information for the OT vulnerabilities in your OT network.

    The OT Vulnerabilities tab lets you view the following items:
    • Number of the new OT vulnerable items.
    • Vulnerable items that have not been addressed.
    • Vulnerable items that are organized by their state.
    • Vulnerable items that are organized by their risk rating.
    • Vulnerability risk table that shows your existing equipment model entities, vulnerable items, and risk scores.
    OT Vulnerabilities tab contents

    To access the OT Vulnerabilities tab, navigate to All > Industrial Workspace, select the OT Manager dashboard (OT Manager dashboard icon) icon, and then select the OT Vulnerabilities tab. To access the key performance indicator (KPI) graph for any tile, select the number count or chart component in the tile.

    The following table describes the information that you can see on the different tiles in the OT Vulnerabilities tab.

    Table 2. OT Vulnerabilities tab
    Tile Description
    OT vulnerabilities overview Section that contains your OT vulnerability data.
    Note:
    If the job ran successfully, there's a Last updated: timestamp that indicated the end time of the last collection. If the job is unsuccessful, there's a Last executed timestamp that indicates the end time of the last execution.
    New OT vulnerable items Number of the new OT vulnerable items that were found in your system.
    Unaddressed vulnerable items Number of the OT vulnerable items that are open and haven't been assigned to a user.
    Vulnerable Items by Risk Rating Circle chart that summarizes your vulnerable items and their criticality.
    Vulnerable items by state Bar chart that displays all the vulnerable items by state. You can interpret how many vulnerabilities are being addressed and how many need further investigation. For example, if the Under Investigation category is relatively high, you can prioritize these items by addressing those vulnerable items first.
    Vulnerability risk
    Equipment model entity Table that displays the risk scores for your site's equipment model entities and their vulnerable items. It also highlights the area that poses the most risk and the number of vulnerable items.
    No Site Assigned OT Devices Table that displays the risk scores and count of vulnerable items for OT devices that are not assigned to any site
