Can NetSenX monitor OT and industrial networks?
Yes, from the Pro plan. NetSenX reads Modbus/TCP, DNP3, BACnet/IP, EtherNet/IP and S7comm from passive capture on a SPANSPAN: switch port analyser. A switch setting that sends a copy of network traffic to one port, where a sensor can watch it. or TAPTAP: test access point. A small device that copies the traffic on a network cable for a sensor to watch. port. Devices classified as OTOT: operational technology. The computers that run machines, production lines, building systems and utilities. are never actively probed, so there is no risk to PLCs or SCADA systems.
