Original title: Industrial Defender Unifies Endpoint Intelligence and Network Monitoring for CIP-015, Adds Risk Signal
INSM flags baseline deviations on OT networks and Risk Signal verifies that prioritized patches were applied.
Industrial Defender announced internal network security monitoring and Risk Signal in its latest OT cybersecurity platform release. The monitoring learns normal device communications, alerts on deviations, and links each anomaly to asset configuration, vulnerabilities and risk score, with review records mapped to CIP-015. Risk Signal builds prioritized remediation playbooks from a customer’s existing risk model, publishes them to work-management systems, then confirms patch application and refreshes the risk score. A demonstration is planned at GridSecCon 2026 in Orlando.
