Exalens

Equipment Maintenance, Reliability and Uptime

• Exalens is compatible with reactive, condition-based and predictive maintenance regimes.
• Use Exalens to monitor and manage the health and performance of:
  • Operational assets
  • Physical processes
  • IT networks
• Exalens can be used to monitor and manage a wide range of discrete, continuous and ad hoc processes.
• Processes can be associated with operational assets, and processes can be grouped together to ease comprehension, monitoring and management.
• Individual processes can also be allocated to different process groups.
• Combine real-time data with proprietary models and public datasets and benchmarks to proactively detect:
  • Relationships and correlations
  • Anomalies
  • Faults
  • Failures
  • Threats
  • Inefficiencies
• Automatically generate and distribute event alerts that include:
  • Core and contextualising information
  • Event categories and classifications
  • Calculated risk scores and severities
  • Correlations with operational assets, physical processes and IT network activity
• Automatically generate process baselines, discover dependencies between process variables, and visualise impact paths of events.
• Exalen's modelling and analysis engine includes the ability to configure thresholds for endpoint data strength and precision, as well as protection against false positives arising from sparse model data.
• Use Exalens' anomaly, fault, failure and threat detection engine to identify:
  • Root causes
  • Event categories
  • Related incidents
  • The chain of impacted assets
  • Relevant asset, process or network activity
• As well as isolated anomalies, faults, failures and threats, Exalens enables the detection, interrogation and visualisation of interconnected incidents and events and their impact.
• Exalens also provides access to relevant raw data and visualisations of the highlighted event or incident.
• Processes and relationships across processes can be viewed and interacted with via:
  • Graph or network views
  • Table and list views
  • Chart views
  • Report views
• Real-time and historical data can be easily:
  • Searched
  • Sorted
  • Filtered
  • Compared
• Simpler search, sort, filter and compare tools are available, as well as more advanced data analysis and interrogation tools, such as a SQL query builder.

Cyber and Physical Security

• Exalens streamlines workflows that include:
  • Asset, process and network monitoring
  • Threat detection
  • Incident analysis and response
• Automatically discover, classify and monitor cyber-physical assets that span physical processes and IT networks.
• Monitor and manage key cyber-physical asset information, including:
  • Asset criticality
  • Process membership
  • Forensics-appropriate activity data
• Exalens is also able to detect unseen/shadow devices and unusual changes to cyber-physical processes.
• Use a dedicated SQL query interface to perform aggregations, analytics searches, in-depth analyses and root cause identifications that involve real-time and historical data.
• Detect threats, vulnerabilities and anomalies in cyber-physical assets and processes and monitor them as they evolve over time.
• Use intelligent risk and threat classifications in combination with MITRE ATT&CK for Industrial Control Systems mappings to determine context and assess high-risk activity.

Compliance

• Use Exalens to enable and enhance compliance with a range of standards, frameworks and regulations from different domains. These include:
  • Health, safety and environmental regulations
  • Quality management standards
  • Information, cyber and physical security requirements
  • Industry-specific benchmarks and frameworks
  • Internal standards
  • Interoperability frameworks
• Exalens also configures to simplify adherence to key security frameworks and guidelines, including:
  • IEC 62433
  • NIST 800-82
  • NIS2 Directive

Reporting and Analytics

• Use interactive, real-time dashboards to visualise, monitor and manage:
  • Operational asset health and performance
  • Physical process status and uptime
  • IT network activity
  • Incident activity, impact and risk
• Use search, sort, filter and compare tools to generate interactive dashboards and reports.
• Configure the automatic generation and distribution of reports to relevant IT and operational stakeholders.
• Data from within Exalens can be channeled to third-party tools for further reporting, analysis and interrogation.

Third-Party Integrations

• Exalens integrates with any system, equipment or process capable of utilising the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA), MQTT or MTConnect data standards, as well . This includes:
  • Manufacturing execution systems (MES)
  • Distributed control systems (DCS)
  • Programmable logic controller (PLC) systems
  • Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems
  • Internet of things (IoT) devices and equipment
  • Building and energy management systems
• Exalens also integrates with:
  • Security information and event management solutions
  • Security orchestration, automation and response solutions
  • Single sign-on (SSO) and authentication solutions
  • Endpoint management applications
  • Firewalls and network access control solutions
  • IT operations management solutions
• Bespoke integrations are available:
  • Upon request
  • Via an API
