Every OT environment is uniquely built to meet a specific purpose, making a one-size-fits-all approach impractical.
SynSaber’s flexible, software-based Sabers (sensors) integrate seamlessly into any part of your network whether it’s a factory floor, remote substation, or anywhere you have assets in an industrial setting.
We utilize multiple identification techniques to gather relevant asset data and contextual information without disrupting operations.
Elevate industrial operations with seamless integrations and superior scalability to enhance asset visibility and provide access to the data your teams need.
SynSaber is purpose-built for OT environments, aligning with the complexity and careful planning of each industrial environment.
Do more without adding another tool to the roster. Sabers send data from anywhere in your environment to anywhere you need it.
Sabers process data at the edge before it leaves your network, so teams get what they need without the noise.
Deploy as many or as few Sabers as you need to reduce blind spots and gather the data that empowers your team.
Asset visibility is the first step in understanding your environment; it is the process of identifying and maintaining an updated list of the assets connected at each facility — even remote sites — along with any associated metadata. This metadata can include information such as the type of device (HMI, PLC, router), its classification (OT/IT), the protocols it uses, vendor, serial number, model, and firmware. It can also include extended details such as software installed on the device or installed hardware modules.
Sabers can be deployed at any level of your environment to begin gathering relevant asset data based on activity in the network. Using both open-source and proprietary resources and databases, Sabers can identify assets and metadata based on information that is being communicated across the network without disruption to the environment or any required action from operators, analysts, or other team members.
SynSaber can identify any IT and OT assets connected and communicating across a network. If it has an active presence on the network, we can see it.
Sabers are able to identify assets as long as they communicate on a network. Our solution is purpose-built for OT environments and includes support for many less common or legacy industrial protocols. We also understand that every facility is uniquely constructed to meet a specific operation purpose. Our sensor is designed to integrate seamlessly into these networks to gather asset data and monitor activity without impacting sensitive assets or the network itself.
As soon as you install a Saber and configure where you want the data to go, results can be seen almost immediately. The Saber will begin to extract asset information as soon as it sees packets on the network where it is deployed. If using the Saber’s local UI, you can view asset data as it is captured. Depending on your Saber’s data pipeline configuration, you will also start seeing asset information in your other configured data destinations such as a SIEM, SOAR, data lake, or CMDB.
We believe that you should be able to send your network data anywhere you need to; our solution was built with the principle of integration-first. No two OT environments are architected and deployed the same way, so we work with your teams to understand your visibility goals, what you already have in place, and work to create a deployment plan that best suits your needs. Our Sabers capture data from your network and can send it anywhere you need in your environment, whether that’s a Historian, datalake, or any of the existing tools that any of your teams currently use.
Deploying SynSaber is as easy as identifying the sites or network areas where you need additional visibility and installing a sensor there. We’re flexible enough to sideload on an existing machine, run in a virtualized container, or direct install on a small piece of dedicated hardware such as a ruggedized industrial computer.
Sabers constantly monitor your network environment. This means we are able to detect and update asset data automatically in near real-time. There is no need to schedule updates.
Deploying a Saber can be done within a span of hours, rather than weeks or months. All you need is a place on the network for the Saber to be deployed (virtualized machine, side-loaded on existing hardware, etc.), defined destinations for the Saber to send data, and you’ll starting seeing what the Saber sees right away.
SynSaber is right for any organization with industrial, OT environments. From advanced manufacturing with factory floors in different nations to critical infrastructure such as water treatment and electricity, we are dedicated to closing the visibility gap in industrial environments. Whether you have thousands of assets across multiple sites or a dozen assets in a handful of substations, we can help you on your visibility journey.
All a Saber needs for deployment is available compute resources. Sabers can be sideloaded on existing machines, deployed on a virtualized machine, or installed onto the network with a small piece of hardware. The number of required resources depends on the amount of data being processed at each network and how frequently any updates or changes need to be sent out.
Yes! Scale the number of Sabers you need as you need them. Start with the most critical parts of your environment and deploy additional Sabers as needed to grow your visibility alongside your networks.
Yes. Sabers can detect any asset on the network it lives on; there is no limit to the number of assets a Saber can detect in a given network. As long as each asset is communicating on a network with an active Saber, they will be identified and monitored. If you have devices across the world with Sabers at each location, the Circle provides a centralized view of all your organization’s assets.
Yes. Sabers are able to monitor network traffic and extract asset information and metadata without any external network connection. We are also well-suited to limited connectivity environments such as remote sites with 3G or satellite uplinks.
