Industrial Networks Deserve the Same Rigor as IT, With Different Rules
OT networks have been managed with spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, and vendor-specific tools for decades. When a PLC configuration is lost after a hardware failure, recovery means hours or days of manual reconstruction, during which production is stopped. When a SCADA configuration changes without documentation, auditors and incident responders have no forensic trail to follow. ConnectMyAssets brings the same systematic configuration management that IT networks rely on to OT environments, adapted for the zero-downtime, complete network isolation, and safety constraints that make industrial networks unique.
Configuration Management Built for Industrial Networks
From unified IT/OT inventory to isolated network deployment and OT compliance, every capability is designed for the operational constraints of industrial environments.
IT/OT Unified Inventory
A single CMDB that covers both IT and OT assets in one consolidated view. Network routers, firewalls, and switches sit alongside PLCs, HMIs, SCADA servers, and industrial switches. Each device carries its full metadata, vendor, model, firmware version, site location, and operational criticality. Your IT and OT teams share the same source of truth, eliminating the spreadsheet silos that create blind spots during incidents.
Industrial Device Support
ConnectMyAssets supports the full spectrum of industrial vendors alongside traditional IT vendors. On the OT side: Siemens (SCALANCE switches, S7 PLCs), Schneider Electric (ConneXium, Modicon), Rockwell Automation (Stratix switches, ControlLogix), and ABB. On the IT side: Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Aruba, and 100+ others. A single platform handles both worlds without requiring separate tools for each environment.
Isolated Network Deployment, No Internet Required
Industrial networks are typically fully isolated from the internet and often from the corporate IT network. ConnectMyAssets is designed for this reality. The platform can be deployed entirely on-premises inside your OT DMZ, with no outbound internet connectivity required. All backups, audits, and compliance reports run locally. This architecture meets the strict security requirements of critical infrastructure operators without compromising network isolation.
Non-Intrusive Backup
OT networks have zero tolerance for disruption. ConnectMyAssets uses passive, read-only collection methods to retrieve device configurations without generating traffic that could interfere with industrial processes. Backup schedules are configurable to run during planned maintenance windows. The platform never pushes unsolicited commands to OT devices. If a device is unreachable during a scheduled backup, the system logs the miss and retries at the next window, it does not force a connection.
OT Compliance, NIS2 & IEC 62443
Critical infrastructure operators (OIV in France, essential entities under NIS2 in Europe) face mandatory cybersecurity obligations. NIS2 Article 21 requires documented asset management, configuration control, and incident response capabilities for network equipment. IEC 62443 defines security levels for industrial automation and control systems. ConnectMyAssets generates audit-ready compliance reports aligned to both frameworks, documenting every configuration change, access event, and backup snapshot with timestamps and user attribution.
Change Management for OT
Changes to OT configurations carry far higher risk than changes to IT equipment. A misconfigured PLC or SCADA server can halt production, damage equipment, or create safety hazards. ConnectMyAssets enforces a strict multi-step approval workflow for any configuration change in the OT environment. Changes must be reviewed and approved by designated OT engineers before deployment. All changes are scheduled to execute only during pre-defined maintenance windows, and a full configuration backup is automatically taken before any change is applied.
How It Works
Deploy On-Premises in Your OT Network
Install ConnectMyAssets on a dedicated server inside your OT DMZ or isolated industrial network. No internet connectivity required. The platform runs entirely within your security perimeter, communicating only with the devices in your OT network segments. Deployment takes less than a day and requires no changes to your existing network architecture or firewall rules beyond allowing SSH read-only access from the ConnectMyAssets server to your managed devices.
Inventory & Backup All IT and OT Devices
ConnectMyAssets discovers and inventories both IT and OT devices in your network. Add devices manually, import from a CSV, or use network discovery. The platform identifies vendors and models automatically and begins taking configuration backups on your defined schedule. Each backup is stored with a full diff against the previous version, so you always know exactly what changed, when it changed, and who made the change. Industrial devices like Siemens SCALANCE switches and Schneider ConneXium are handled with the same rigor as Cisco or Juniper equipment.
Monitor, Audit & Comply
With your full IT and OT inventory backed up and version-controlled, ConnectMyAssets continuously monitors for unauthorized configuration changes. Any deviation from the approved baseline triggers an alert to your security and operations teams. The compliance engine runs automated checks against NIS2 Article 21 and IEC 62443 requirements and generates audit-ready reports on demand. When auditors or regulators request evidence of your configuration management practices, ConnectMyAssets produces a complete audit trail in minutes.
