Security monitoring has uncovered unauthorized devices and now protects client networks
I think the best feature of Armis Centrix for OT/IoT Security is that it ensures only the authorized devices and users are authorized to prevent any potential breaches. I think that clear definition is very essential for a lot of networks because it helps us understand who should be there and who shouldn't be. For our clientele, we were able to discover a lot of unauthorized devices that were on their network. This first of all helped them remove a lot of potential security breaches and cleared the bandwidth of the network as well. I think this has been one of the biggest cases that we have found. For most of the clients where we have deployed it, this has always been a common occurrence because a lot of people enter the network and then you don't know who is there, who has the access, and so on. I think this is the very reason I said what I said earlier.

Comprehensive security features with integral network communication view
Real-time monitoring and proactive threat prevention offered by Palo Alto Industrial OT Security is a key feature of the product, which is distinctive since many other security solutions for industrial plant environments are basically able to detect - not protect. They need to be integrated with other security components, making the deployment more complex as more products and solutions need to be integrated. In Palo Alto, we have a single device that does everything. These features contribute to maintaining oversight over my Industrial networks or my customers' networks, and it's very important. It is a way to detect any change in the field, even if changes are made outside the proper control processes. The capability of Palo Alto Industrial OT Security to map network flows and understand asset interdependencies is especially important in complex environments. In smaller environments, which are the most common in my country, the industrial plants usually change very slowly, so this kind of discovery feature is interesting at the beginning but not critical after the first deployments. The positive impact of Palo Alto Industrial OT Security on my organization brings benefits such as a constant view of the intercommunication and connection between different areas of the networks.
