BENEFITS

USE CASES

FEATURES

Are these challenges familiar to you?

Lake of visibility on the OT network: incomplete inventories, unmanaged flows, and inability to demonstrate regulatory compliance.

Silos between IT and OT teams: no common reference between technical and operational perspectives, leading to misunderstandings.

Inability to effectively detect OT attacks: IT solutions are ill-suited to industrial constraints and specifics. Too much alerts, not enough OT context.

To address these issues, choose an OT-designed visibility and detection solution that provides the most comprehensive mapping available on the market.

SEE WITHOUT DISRUPTION: A CHALLENGE IN OT

In the OT world, each newly deployed security device brings its own set of constraints:

Risk of impacting the availability of critical processes
Deployment and maintenance complexity
Massive generation of false positives
Contractual limitations on certain OT systems

Traditional visibility and detection solutions face significant limitations in this regard.

>> Traditional solution = installation of intrusive software components on operational equipment.

>> Traditional solution =
IT-oriented operation mode, difficult for industrial teams to understand, generating noise and potentially disrupting operations.

Key OT Visibility Use Cases Leveraging the Unique Capabilities of Seclab Xplore

Initial OT cybersecurity audit

Seclab Xplore can be deployed in a portable "briefcase appliance" mode to perform a one-time assessment: complete inventory within a few hours of passive monitoring, immediate multi-view OT network mapping, list of identified vulnerabilities, and exportable information for audit report.

Seclab Xplore is the ideal solution for organizations starting their OT cybersecurity journey, conducting a risk analysis, or wishing to audit a third-party network before connecting it—such as during a corporate acquisition.

Continuous mapping for evolving environments

By deploying fixed sensors at strategic monitoring points, Seclab Xplore enables real-time updates of the OT network map, dynamic inventory tracking, and automatic reporting of deviations from the initial mapping. Seclab Xplore is particularly suited for building management networks (BMS/BAS) evolving with ongoing works, multi-site infrastructures requiring a consolidated view, and organizations subject to regular audits.

Attack detection and SOC monitoring

With its four detection engines (mapping, Sigma signatures, Suricate signatures, AI-based behavioral), Seclab Xplore identifies changes, anomalies, suspicious behavior, and intrusion attempts. Contextualized alerts can be routed to the SOC, IT teams, or OT teams depending on their criticality or context. Seclab Xplore also facilitates forensic analysis through collected and archived traffic evidence and proofs, enabling a rapid response in case of a security incident.

Regulatory readiness and compliance tracking

Seclab Xplore simplifies the generation of deliverables that can be directly used for security audits: comprehensive and auditable asset inventories, OT network mapping documented across all five views, regular vulnerability analyses, complete flow matrices, and segmentation deviation listings.

Empower smarter isolation decisions for your critical assets

As part of a defense-in-depth approach, Seclab Xplore enables the immediate identification of vital assets (MVDI – Minimum Viable Digital Industry*) that require the highest level of protection.

These assets are then secured using Seclab Xchange (network isolation) and Seclab Xport (USB isolation). Seclab Xplore also maps the critical flows that must be allowed on Seclab Xchange devices and automatically generates the corresponding Seclab Xchange configuration.

* = MVDI – Minimum Viable Digital Industry | Scope containing only the vital assets necessary for the continuity of the business.

Firewall rules and network architecture review

Seclab Xplore maps the actual OT network flows and compares them with the existing filtering rules. The flow matrix highlights overly permissive rules, unauthorized communications, and discrepancies between the theoretical segmentation and the observed reality. Recommendations can then be applied directly to the firewalls. Seclab Xplore is the ideal solution for auditing or hardening industrial firewall rules during compliance efforts, or for regaining control of an insufficiently documented OT architecture.

Commissioning of new installations

Seclab Xplore can be deployed in mobile mode (portable appliance) during the commissioning of a new OT network. In just a few hours of passive monitoring, it provides an inventory of connected devices, verifies network segmentation, identifies unexpected flows, and detects vulnerabilities from the very start of operation. The information generated by Seclab Explore serves as a T0 baseline, usable as formal commissioning documentation. Seclab Xplore is the ideal solution for integrators and OT managers who want to objectively validate a new installation before it goes live into production.

Post-maintenance configuration validation

Seclab Xplore ensures that equipment configurations are correct and that any updates have been properly applied after maintenance operations. Seclab Xplore is the ideal solution for maintenance teams that need to guarantee the absence of side effects and maintain traceable validation.

Support for operational or cyber incident response

Contextualized alerts accelerate triage and decision-making during incidents. Seclab Xplore sensors index, store locally, and archive traffic captures, making investigations easier. Seclab Xplore is the ideal solution for SOC and CSIRT teams responding to crises in OT environments, where every minutes counts.

SECLAB XPLORE – HOW IT WORKS?

Seclab Xplore operates without scanners or agents to discover assets, routing or filtering equipment, and to map network flows—without ever disrupting industrial processes. Zero impact on operational availability. The solution includes the following components:

Passive Sensors

Hardware or software sensors (VMs) deployed on the OT network and connected via a mirror port (SPAN, RSPAN, ERPSAN) or a network TAP. They capture and analyze a copy of the traffic without ever interacting directly with the equipment. Thanks to support for tunneling mechanisms (VLAN, GRE), probes can be deployed remotely from the collection point. Zero port scanning, zero agents deployed. The OT network continues to operate exactly as before. Supports IPFIX and NetFlow traffic.

The Brain – Seclab Xplore Intelligence

A centralized system for real-time analysis of traffic from sensors or locally uploaded PCAP files. The Brain includes the graphical interface for administration and visualization of OT information. Local injection of PCAP files allows mapping of completely isolated environments. The Brain is available as a physical or virtual appliance.

Dynamic Enrichment with SAE-N and SAE-S

Proprietary mechanisms (signed and auditable scripts or executables, requiring no installation) that enhance the inventory without disrupting operations:

SAE-N: retrieves information from managed switches to locate assets on switch ports.

SAE-S: provides a detailed inventory of installed applications, proactively identifies vulnerable software, tracks USB devices, and assesses asset protection levels.

SAE-dv: enriches data for DeltaV machines.

All modules are activated on demand, configurable in intensity and scope, and fully controlled by the user.

Technology Ecosystem

Seclab Xplore can leverage existing infrastructure and integrates with the current technology ecosystem (CMDB, Firewall, PAM, IAM, SIEM, SOAR, etc.) to enhance discovery, provide operational flexibility, and facilitate incident response.

Network Segmentation	Purdue view + traffic matrix to verify compliance and identify deviations. Supports decision-making for Xchange and Xport deployment.
Incident Detection and Management	Continuous monitoring, contextualized alerts, and forensic analysis capabilities for mandatory notification reports.
Traceability and Auditability	Complete archiving of collected data and alerts. Provides evidence for audit reports.

Key Takeaway – Seclab Xplore addresses five core NIS 2 compliance pillars: asset inventory, risk analysis, segmentation, incident detection, and traceability. The collected data directly supports decisions for strengthening security (Xchange isolation) and generating audit-ready reports.

How to verify OT segmentation according to IEC 62443 with Seclab XploreAlicia Rosé2026-04-02T10:47:42+02:00

How to verify OT segmentation according to IEC 62443 with Seclab Xplore

Seclab Xplore enables verification and documentation of the zones-and-conduits architecture defined by IEC 62443. The Purdue view, the flow matrix, and the segmentation diagnostics provide the necessary evidence to validate compliance and prioritize corrective actions.

Zones-and-conduits segmentation verification

The Purdue view automatically organizes equipment according to ISA-95 levels. It allows instant verification that segmentation meets IEC 62443 requirements and flags any communications crossing levels non-compliantly.

Validation of the least privilege principle

The flow matrix exhaustively documents communications between zones. It ensures that only the necessary operational flows are allowed – in line with the least privilege principle prescribed by the standard – and highlights any unauthorized traffic.

Diagnostics and prioritized remediation

Segmentation diagnostics identify gaps between the theoretical segmentation (as designed) and the observed segmentation (as actually deployed). Correction recommendations are prioritized according to impact. Vulnerability analysis (CVE) complements this approach by allowing remediation prioritization based on the target security levels of each zone.

Consolidated reports are aligned with IEC 62443 requirements and are directly usable for audits. The solution pairs naturally with Seclab Xchange to ensure physical isolation of critical zones (SL-3 to SL-4).

Key takeaway – Seclab Xplore verifies IEC 62443 segmentation using the Purdue view and flow matrix, identifies gaps, and produces audit-ready reports. It integrates with Seclab Xchange to physically isolate the most critical zones (SL-3/SL-4).

What is the See-First Intelligence approach? Progressive OT cybersecurity in 3 phasesAlicia Rosé2026-04-02T10:53:22+02:00

What is the See-First Intelligence approach? Progressive OT cybersecurity in 3 phases

The See-First Intelligence approach means "see first, comprehensively and safely, before acting." Seclab Xplore implements this through a progressive journey — from ad-hoc audits to continuous monitoring — allowing organizations to advance at their own pace without a monolithic upfront investment.

The problem with "all or nothing"

Most OT cybersecurity solutions require a full deployment from day one: complete purchase, probes across the entire perimeter, immediate continuous monitoring. This approach slows adoption and inflates the initial budget without prior proof of value.

Three phases to maturity

Phase 1 – Nomadic audit: inventory in hours, with no permanent commitment
A portable appliance (suitcase format) is temporarily connected to the OT network. Within a few hours of passive monitoring, it produces a complete inventory, a five-view OT network map, a list of vulnerabilities, segmentation analysis, and a consolidated audit report. Ideal for starting an OT cybersecurity initiative, auditing multiple sites, or meeting initial NIS 2 obligations.

Phase 2 – Continuous mapping and monitoring: real-time visibility, automatic deviation alerts
Probes are installed at strategic listening points. The network map is updated continuously: new devices, unusual flows, configuration changes — all changes are automatically flagged.

Phase 3 — Advanced attack supervision: multi-engine detection and forensic analysis
All four detection engines are activated (mapping, Sigma signatures, Suricata signatures, behavioral analysis). Continuous analysis identifies anomalies, suspicious behavior, and intrusion attempts. Contextualized alerts are routed to the appropriate stakeholders.

True technical continuity

Data collected in Phase 1 feeds Phase 2, which in turn enriches Phase 3. Historical data is preserved, baselines are gradually refined, and detection rules are calibrated to the network's real behavior. For the CISO: controlled initial investment and a clear trajectory. For industrial decision-makers: visible results within weeks, with no commitment without proof of value.

Key takeaway – See-First Intelligence is a three-phase maturity journey (nomadic audit → continuous mapping → advanced supervision) with complete technical continuity. Each phase delivers immediate value and feeds the next.

How does Seclab Xplore facilitate cybersecurity collaboration between IT and OT teams?Alicia Rosé2026-04-02T10:58:26+02:00

How does Seclab Xplore facilitate cybersecurity collaboration between IT and OT teams?

Seclab Xplore acts as a bridge between the IT and OT worlds. Its five network mapping views, native interoperability with existing tools, and intelligent alert routing allow teams to work on shared data, each in their familiar representation.

The IT/OT gap: a real challenge

IT and OT teams have different priorities, tools, vocabularies, and technology lifecycles (3–5 years in IT vs. 15–25 years in OT). IT security policies do not directly apply to industrial environments, and CISOs often struggle to get a consolidated view of risks.

Multi-view, collaborative mapping

Each role sees the data in a familiar representation while still sharing the same underlying information. During security meetings, teams view the same screen but switch between views depending on the discussion. An incident visible on the network view can be contextualized in the Purdue view to understand process impact, then located on the geographic view.

Interoperability with existing tools

Seclab Xplore integrates natively with firewalls, SIEMs, SOCs, bastions, vulnerability managers, and CMDBs already in use. Alerts and data feed into the tools deployed by IT teams, avoiding the creation of another isolated silo.

Intelligent alert routing

Each alert reaches the right person at the right time, based on its nature and severity. An OT engineer is notified of a firmware change on a PLC. The CISO receives a consolidated risk summary. The network engineer is alerted to a flow that violates segmentation policies.

Key takeaway – Seclab Xplore bridges the IT/OT gap through three mechanisms: five mapping views tailored to each role, native interoperability with existing IT tools, and intelligent alert routing to the right stakeholders.
