OT Monitoring vs System Performance
Deploy passive, OT-native monitoring tools to fulfil IEC 62443 and NIS2 detection obligations while avoiding the resource contention that degrades legacy controller performance.

Regulations
Business Context
Continuous cybersecurity monitoring improves the detection of malicious
activity, unauthorized access, and abnormal network behavior. Monitoring
tools, however, consume processing power, network bandwidth, and storage
resources.
The Contradiction
Greater monitoring improves cyber detection.
Greater system performance improves operational efficiency.
Why It Exists
Security monitoring introduces additional processes that may affect the
performance of legacy industrial systems.
Direction
Deploy passive monitoring solutions specifically designed for OT
environments to maximize visibility with minimal operational impact.
