What are the key components of LMNTRIX OT' solution?
Key components include LMNTRIX NDR for OT, LMNTRIX Packets for OT, LMNTRIX EDR for OT, LMNTRIX Deceive for OT and LMNTRIX Intelligence for OT.
Where on a typical OT network are LMNTRIX OT components deployed?
Using the Purdue model below we can see where each of the LMNTRIX OT security functions are deployed:
LMNTRIX NDR and Packets for OT are deployed on a SPAN or TAP port at level 3.5 and inspects traffic from all lower levels. Both NDR and Packets sensors can be deployed on the same machine as depicted in the below architecture or on separate machines.
LMNTRIX EDR for OT can be seen deployed on all workstations and servers including the SCADA servers, Historian, DNS, Patching servers, and Jump box.
Finally, Decoys from LMNTRIX Deceive for OT can be seen deployed at Levels 2, 3 and 3.5 using a variety of protocols including Modbus, S7comm, Bacnet, IPMI, ENIP, Guardian AST, Kamstrup, and Hart-ip.
Is LMNTRIX OT superior to other OT security solutions?
Yes, LMNTRIX OT is considered far superior to point product OT security solutions as it supports both IT and OT environments using the same solution while providing protection against multiple threat vectors (endpoint, network, lateral movement, encrypted attacks) and is completely operationalised and delivered with LMNTRIX MDR as standard capability.
Unlike other vendor OT security solutions, the LMNTRIX architecture and technology stack provides complete support for ICS/SCADA environments.
The LMNTRIX multi-vector and holistic architecture detects any threat to the SCADA application, process or network, providing granular visibility of SCADA traffic and facilitating attack forensics:
- We monitor and record all SCADA activity out-of-band and independent of the ability of SCADA devices to send logs
- We baseline normal behavior and alert on deviations from the baseline to prevent undesired network operations based upon policy
- With our integrated network and endpoint threat forensics together with deceptions everywhere we reveal the entire sequence of an attack event
- All security and events related to our architecture are centrally managed, providing a complete view across your enterprise and control networks
- We support the industry’s most extensive support of ICS/SCADA-specific protocols including BACNet, DNP3, IEC-60870-5-104, IEC 60870-6 (ICCP), IEC 61850, MMS, Modbus, OPC, Profinet, S7 (Siemens) and many others
- We detect and prevent exploits of ICS vulnerabilities with SCADA IDS signatures and on the endpoint using exploit prevention using hardware assisted control flow integrity (HA-CFI), closing the window of exposure between vulnerable and patched systems.
- We detect lateral movement using SCADA specific deceptions
- We recommend LMNTRIX EDR to be installed on all Corporate endpoints in Prevention Mode. However, LMNTRIX EDR for OT recommended deployment is on all PCN endpoints (Control/HMI Servers) in Detection Mode only – Not Prevention. It can be installed on any device permitted that supports Windows, Linux, Mac and Solaris. Recommended but not required on Control Servers and HMIs. Not recommend on any other PCS components.
- Our network sensors can utilise a full range of threat detection capabilities including deceptions, IDS, anti-malware, and sandboxing to detect inbound threats to SCADA networks
In summary our architecture provides a complete IT-OT security solution that protects the corporate network past the perimeter, the bridge between IT and OT networks and operator workstations and SCADA devices within the OT network.
What is LMNTRIX NDR for OT, and what does it do?
LMNTRIX NDR for OT is a network sensor that provides network visibility, asset inventory, vulnerability assessment, and threat detection for OT and IoT environments.

What is LMNTRIX Packets for OT, and what does it do?
LMNTRIX Packets primary use case is post breach forensics as it captures and retains OT meta-data traffic for minimum 30 days and makes it available to investigators. The other use case for LMNTRIX Packets is the detection of slow and advanced attacks using a combination of retrospection, anomaly detection and threat hunting.
What is LMNTRIX Deceive for OT, and what does it do?
LMNTRIX Deceive for OT is designed to detect the presence of threat actors that have a foot hold within OT networks and are looking to move laterally.
LMNTRIX Deceive for OT weaves a deceptive layer over your entire network – every endpoint, server and network component is coated with deceptions. The moment an attacker penetrates your network, they are in an illusive world where all the data is unreliable. If attackers cannot collect reliable data, they cannot make decisions. And if they cannot make decisions, the attack is paralysed. This approach provides the following benefits:
- No false positives – every alert is treated as a major incident and escalated to you
- Turn the tables on the bad guys!
- Change the economics of cyber defence by shifting the cost to the attacker
The intent of the service is to address insider threats and advanced human adversaries that are now on your network moving laterally stealing data and actively working to elevate their privileges. Existing solutions such as SIEM, IPS, EDR, Sandboxes, NextGen Firewalls, Web and Email Gateways are defenseless against this threat vector. By deploying deceptions everywhere, we are able to address this difficult threat vector.
LMNTRIX Deceive changes the asymmetry of cyber warfare, by focusing on the weakest link in a targeted attack – the human team behind it. Targeted attacks are orchestrated by human teams. And humans are always vulnerable. Advanced attackers rely on one simple fact – that what they see is real and that the data they collect is reliable. Firewall, Anti-virus, EDR, Sandbox, IDS, and intelligence feed technologies generate so much data that the signal is lost.
Attackers prowling a target network look for juicy content. They browse Active Directory for file servers and explore file shares looking for documents, try default passwords against network devices and web services, and scan for open services across the network.
LMNTRIX Deceive is a cloud-based service running off the LMNTRIX XDR where deceptions are deployed from, alerts reviewed, notifications configured and devices managed from.
LMNTRIX Deceive incorporates 4 types of deceptions. These are Decoys, Breadcrumbs, Tags, and Personas. Each is designed to address a different insider threat and human adversary threat type and together they form a powerful defense.

Matt Kraus
IT Manager, Alliance Funding Group
LMNTRIX XDR didn't just do one thing; it covered all the bases: endpoint, network, cloud, mobile, identity, moving target defense and proactive threat hunting. To build this ourselves, we'd need 50 different products, and then we'd need to find security analysts capable of managing them all. The hyper-converged and holistic approach that LMNTRIX takes is a real game changer in my opinion.
