@Pete-S said in OT / IoT asset management:
You also need to consider what it is you want the documentation to actually be used for and by whom.
If you have different roles you might have network, security and sysadmin/tech (servers, devices etc). Their documentation needs are probably quite different.
For example:
- physical network layout
- switch configuration
- cabinets, racks drawings, locations and wiring
- optical fiber runs, type, length, usage/spares
- physical servers, location, warranty information
- device location, type, firmware level, IPs
- workload inventory
- application settings and configuration
- application data flow between devices, IPs and ports
- application support, contracts
- security zone config, firewall settings
- security compliance documentation
etc, etc...
Yeah, I hear you...
One of the other guys is lead-ish on the user endpoint stuff for now and there's a product in place to help with that.
My main concern for the present effort is getting an accurate picture of what SCADA / OT etc devices we've got in the environment so that I know if action has to be taken or flagged to the appropriate controls group when vulnerabilities are flagged online.
Ideally it'd be something like Nedi but for OT-type devices.
Netbox is great for static documentation and the sky seems to be the limit with regards to how much it can be expanded.
There is an integration with the fusioninventory plugin and agent that I'm already familiar with for GLPI, just haven't taken the time to investigate it.
Equally, GLPI has a lot of potential for some of this but couldn't do what I needed to with regards to documentation for our site-to-site networking.
