Axonius, the asset intelligence platform for unified security operations and exposure management, has announced the general availability of Axonius Cyber-Physical Assets. With this milestone, cyber-physical assets join cyber assets, software assets, SaaS applications, and identities as asset classes, extending the Axonius Asset Cloud to cover IoT and OT devices.
Axonius has announced general availability of Axonius Cyber-Physical Assets, covering IoT and OT devices including industrial controllers, building systems, medical devices, cameras and sensors.
The capability detects assets via a passive network tap, critical for IoT and OT environments that lack a central management system.
Network Connections maps how IoT, OT and IT devices talk to each other, with real-time and 30-day historical visibility.
The Device Intelligence Hub fills profile gaps on OT devices through targeted, granular scans rather than broad network-wide active scanning.
Risk context factors in operational concerns like role and impact alongside exploitability and CVSS.
Axonius also added Post-Quantum Cryptography Readiness and Context360 to the Axonius Asset Cloud.
"No CISO we talk to can tell you how many IoT and OT devices are in their environment. Many of those devices do not have an agent, nor do they report into an IT console. The teams that own them will not let you scan them like a server, so most security programs treat them as someone else's problem," said Moshe Ben Simon, chief product officer at Axonius. "With Axonius Cyber-Physical Assets, those blind spots disappear. Organizations get the same visibility and risk context for IoT and OT devices that they already have for IT. When a laptop on the guest network touches a manufacturing system, they know immediately whether it's a problem."
Announced in April in early access and now generally available, Axonius Cyber-Physical Assets introduces new capabilities including the ability to detect assets via a passive network tap. This new detection methodology is critical for visibility in many IoT and OT environments that may lack a central management system. This approach also finds other compute devices that may not have been visible with existing central IT and security tools, like rogue machines.
Axonius Cyber-Physical Assets is also introducing:
Network Connections: Map how IoT, OT, and IT devices talk to each other, letting security and IT teams view internal and external network traffic, see where external traffic originates, and access real-time and 30-day historical visibility per connection and across aggregated groups.
Device Intelligence Hub: Close the profile gaps that passive discovery leaves behind on OT devices without resorting to the risks of broad, network-wide active scanning on fragile industrial systems.
Risk Context Beyond CVEs: Factor in operational concerns like role and impact along with exploitability and CVSS.
As organizations begin post-quantum planning, they need a list of where vulnerable cryptography lives, who owns it, and what to replace first. Post-Quantum Cryptography Readiness uses data that Axonius already collects to tie every certificate and TLS endpoint to its asset and owner. Security and IT teams can view them by algorithm, key size, and issuer, flag long-lived certificates, and act through Enforcement Sets in the Axonius Action Center.
Context360 shows the "how" and "why" behind every asset record, so security and IT teams can see what's behind a single, complete asset instead of a black-box algorithm. With Context360, teams can investigate what changed on an asset and when, compare field values across sources, link two asset records manually, act to enrich and remediate, and explain how records resolved into one asset.
