Engineering Workstations (EWS) include essential information on the environment, devices in the network and actions performed within the environment.

The information presented in the EWS is saved in a file located on the EWS software and includes all relevant data on the devices that the EWS managers. Ingestion of EWS configuration files is essential to reach maximum visibility. Together with the network traffic data a complete picture of the Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial control systems (ICS) environment is now possible.

Use Cases

• Fast enrichment of Siemens devices using Siemens Software Engineering files
• Full inventory information enrichment of existing devices-profile, modules information, etc.
• Creation of nested devices not visible to Armis through traffic inspection
