The Lansweeper OT (LS Cloud) connector allows customers to use Lansweeper Cloud as the native source for OT specific CI Sync jobs instead of the On-Premise Lansweeper SQL database.
The Lansweeper OT (LS Cloud) connector delivers more OT specific assets, related records and relationships than the On-Prem connector!
Lansweeper has been expanding its world-class scanning technology to introduce a new solution that identifies industrial OT (Operational Technology) devices.
Lansweeper OT identifies devices from manufacturers such as Siemens, Rockwell Automation, Mitsubishi Electric, and Schneider Electric. Lansweeper OT works by using industrial protocols such as Siemens S7 Communication, EtherNet/IP, MELSEC, Modbus (Modicon), BACnet, and OPC UA. The OT scanning capability provides organisations with the visibility and insights they need to reduce the risk of failure and security incidents across their OT infrastructure.
The Lansweeper OT scanner can persist data into either the traditional Lansweeper On-Prem SQL database or it can persist data to Lansweeper Cloud. Persisting OT data to Lansweeper Cloud delivers functional benefits compared with storing the data in Lansweeper On-Prem SQL. Customers should engage Lansweeper to assess which repository is most suitable.
CI Synchronizer now supports OT records being read from Lansweeper Cloud. CI Sync does this by adding OT specific recordsets to our Lansweeper Cloud (vNext) connector. This means organisations can now synchronise OT device data to your CMDB with the same level of ease as Lansweeper IT asset (and related) data.
Introducing OT discovery data into your CMDB allows organisations to apply the same range of ITIL service management processes to this highly valuable data. Processes such as Incident Management, Problem Management and Change Management are now possible with OT data being automatically maintained in the CMDB. It also means OT data is available centrally to the organisation which can dramatically improve the security posture of these devices.
