Industrial Defender

Software & Data Compliance & permitting Compliance reporting NERC CIP OT asset management Vulnerability management

OT asset data platform that automates NERC CIP compliance reporting, configuration change management and risk-based vulnerability management for power utilities.

Industrial Defender has collected and normalized deep OT asset inventory since 2006 — firmware versions, ports, users, patch state, baseline configurations — which is the raw material CIP-002 through CIP-010 evidence is built from, and it generates the audit reports directly rather than leaving utilities to assemble spreadsheets. Newer modules add assisted passive network monitoring, asset anomaly detection and the Immunity by ID vulnerability management product. The company says 10 of the top 25 North American power utilities are customers. It became independent and US-owned again in 2020 after years inside larger technology groups, and took a strategic growth investment from Banneker Partners in January 2026.
