Using Operational Technology Vulnerability Response

After you complete all required set up tasks, including importing vulnerable items from a third-party integration, you can use the Operational Technology Vulnerability Response application from the Industrial Workspace.

Industrial Workspace

To use Operational Technology Vulnerability Response, access the following landing page and menus from the Industrial Workspace.

For more information on the Industrial Workspace, see Industrial Workspace.

OTVR (PA) dashboard in the Industrial Workspace

Use the OTVR (PA) dashboard to track the volume, performance, and progress of your vulnerable items from the initial analysis and detection to the containment, or remediation. You can filter the reports by the assignment group, exploits, risk rating, or state to get insight into your vulnerability exposure and the services that are affected.

For more information about the OTVR (PA) dashboard, see Operational Technology Vulnerability Response (PA) dashboard

OT Vulnerability Risk Rollup dashboard overview

The Operational Technology (OT) Vulnerability Risk Rollup dashboard contains two tables for your vulnerability risk scores.

• Vulnerability risk table for your equipment model entities
• Vulnerability risk table for OT devices with no site assigned

List menu

Use the List menu to view all OT Vulnerable Item records that you have access to and remediation tasks that have either been assigned to you or to an assignment group that you are a member of.

• OT Remediation Tasks
  • Assigned to me
  • Assigned to my groups
• OT Vulnerable Items
  • Assigned to me
  • Assigned to my groups
  • My Exception Requests

  • All Exceptions

    Note: The All Exceptions list also shows exceptions with a Rejected state.

Navigate to records under the OT Remediation Tasks or OT Vulnerable Items list menus to get more OT-related context. To view the history of the record, you can view the Activity window in the record where various work notes, comments, and record updates are captured. You can also add new comments or work notes in the Compose window.

For more information about remediation tasks, see Create a remediation task.

For more information on how to use the List view in the Industrial Workspace for Operational Technology Vulnerability Response, see Use the List view in the IT Remediation Workspace.

Equipment model menu

Use the Equipment Model Manager to view OT vulnerable items, and view and create remediation tasks associated with OT devices that are mapped to an equipment model entity.

Hardware Vulnerability Assessment

Use the Hardware Vulnerability Assessment menu to view and manage the vulnerabilities assessments that have performed on the firmwares of the OT devices in the inventory.

Use the following tabs in the Hardware Vulnerability Assessment menu to view all the assessments records and the vulnerable items that are created automatically:

• Fully matched assessments
• Partially matched assessments
• Vulnerable items
• Ignored assessments

• Awaiting Normalization

• View vulnerable items and solutions in the Industrial Workspace
  View Operational Technology (OT) vulnerable items (VITs) and their respective preferred solutions or all available solutions provided by OT Vulnerability Solution Management in the Industrial Workspace.

• View vulnerability exceptions in the Industrial Workspace
  You can use request an Operational Technology (OT) Admin to ignore a vulnerable item (VIT) as an exception.
• Create a remediation task
  Create remediation tasks associated with OT devices that are mapped to an equipment model entity.
• Select a start time for a remediation task
  Select an expected start time for an Operational Technology (OT) remediation task by using the time slots in the equipment model entity schedules.
• Split remediation task
  User can split the Vulnerable items (VIs) from a remediation task record to create a remediation task.
• View remediation tasks in the Industrial Workspace
  View the remediation tasks created for the Operational Technology (OT) vulnerable items (VITs) in the Industrial Workspace.
• Defer a remediation task
  Defer a remediation task to create an exception request that you can resolve later.
• Understanding compensating controls for Operational Technology
  Compensating controls in OT environments are alternative security measures when risks posed by vulnerabilities can't be patched immediately.
