Active Asset Discovery
Active discovery
Active asset discovery collects information by sending requests directly to devices and checking responses.
In context
Additional communications and requests can affect sensitive OT devices. Do not run it without authorization on operating equipment.
Example
A discovery tool used in an office cannot automatically be regarded as equally safe on a factory control network.
Key distinction
Perform necessary discovery within approved scope after responsible personnel review targets, methods, timing, and impacts.
