Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks lets you monitor devices connected to an industrial network. An assets table is created for the purpose of asset management in the application.
The assets table contains asset information that was manually provided or obtained automatically during traffic analysis.
Only information that can be identified during traffic analysis can be automatically obtained and updated (for example, address information of an asset). For asset activity detection and automatic update of information, the corresponding Asset Management methods must be enabled. If necessary, you can manually specify the values of specific data and disable their automatic update to lock the current values (for example, you can lock the asset category if the currently defined category differs from the one that is determined automatically).
Some information must be specified manually because it cannot be automatically updated. For example, you can save specific information about assets in the table, and add absent criteria for sorting and filtering assets. You can also use manually defined information to arrange assets in various groups in the group tree, or filter and search for assets based on asset labels.
Information from the assets table is stored on the Server and is independent of the security policy that is loaded in the Console or applied on the Server. However, process control devices saved in a security policy are automatically added to the assets table after the policy is applied on the Server (or the address information of previously added assets is updated).
You can view and edit information about assets in the Assets section of the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks web interface. You can also view information about the interactions between assets and perform various actions with assets when working with the network map.
