Relationship Map

See recorded OT relationships.
Understand the gaps in visibility.

Put assets, protocols and communication evidence in context before deciding what needs review.

RECORDED PLATFORM EXAMPLE

289Recorded assets
21With recorded links
42Recorded links
268Without observed links

These totals come from the supplied platform screenshot. An asset without an observed link is a gap in this record; it does not establish that the asset is silent or offline.

A CLEARER VIEW OF THE EVIDENCE

Follow a path.
Ask the right question.

Cross-zone flow — review

Illustrative Modbus PLC → firewall path. Confirm the actual zone assignments, permitted conduit and business purpose before treating any path as a finding.

This simplified map is a presentation illustration. It shows four selected cross-zone links, not all 42 recorded links. Protocol groups alone do not establish security zones. The amber path is an example review prompt, not a platform-generated alert or a verified segmentation issue.

FROM VISIBILITY TO REVIEW

The connection is
the starting point.

A relationship map helps your engineering team ask whether the recorded communication has an owner, a clear operational purpose and an agreed place in the architecture.

  • Validate device identity and capture coverage.
  • Confirm zones, conduits and permitted traffic.
  • Review consequences before changing production systems.
Discuss a factory pilot

EVIDENCE LIMITS

Unclassified does
not mean unsafe.

“Unclassified assets” means a protocol was not identified in the available evidence. Device identity, current traffic and online status still require validation.

Website AI assistant: topic buttons show prewritten public information without an AI request. If AI is configured and you accept the processing notice, your free-text question is sent through our hosting server to OpenAI to generate a reply. Each question is handled separately; previous questions and replies are not included.
