Featured capabilities

Active asset discovery

SINEC Security Inspector’s active asset discovery gives you clear visibility into your OT and IT/OT networks. During defined maintenance windows, it actively identifies connected assets and creates a detailed inventory with technical data and protection classes. This reliable foundation enables targeted vulnerability scans, efficient compliance checks, and clear, actionable security reports.

Built-in compliance check

The compliance check in SINEC Security Inspector verifies your OT and IT/OT networks against defined security regulations, requirements and configurations. It assesses infrastructure, devices, and settings, highlighting deviations and risks.
