Forescout eyeInspect

Forescout eyeInspect (formerly SilentDefense) provides comprehensive operational technology (OT) network monitoring, industrial asset discovery, and cyber threat detection purpose-built for critical infrastructure and industrial automation environments. Industrial networks rely on sensitive industrial control systems (ICS) and SCADA architectures where active network scanning can cause catastrophic equipment shutdowns. Forescout eyeInspect operates completely passively, ingesting network traffic via SPAN and TAP ports to safely decode proprietary industrial communication protocols, including Modbus, DNP3, Ethernet/IP, and IEC 61850. The platform automatically creates a complete, real-time inventory of all connected OT assets, capturing vendor names, firmware versions, hardware models, and communication relationships across the Purdue model hierarchy. Powered by industrial threat intelligence and deep behavioral baselining, eyeInspect identifies anomalous industrial commands, unauthorized PLC programming changes, operational failures, and targeted cyber threats. Security teams gain immediate exposure visibility through automated mapping of industrial Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) affecting legacy devices. With native integrations into Forescout eyeSight and enterprise SIEM/SOAR platforms, eyeInspect empowers industrial plant operators and corporate security teams to protect physical machinery, avoid unplanned operational downtime, and ensure compliance with stringent critical infrastructure standards.
