Integrate Device Security with SolarWinds Platform (previously
SolarWinds Orion modules) to gain network subnet information and track
physical locations of IoT/OT devices. This integration addresses challenges in
understanding device network connections and automating IP subnet definition
imports, thereby providing crucial context for device identification, network
management, and security.
Device Security built and verified this integration with the legacy
modules. SolarWinds now hosts
SolarWinds Orion modules on SolarWinds Platform.
Device Security takes advantage of the IP Address Management (IPAM) and User
Device Tracking (UDT) capabilities of SolarWinds. When configuring the
integration, the SolarWinds solution you choose affects what
Device Security learns from the integration.
SolarWinds Platform IPAM solution: subnet
configurations, VLAN identifiers, and descriptions from your SolarWinds
infrastructure. The information learned from the IPAM solution lets you reuse
the SolarWinds subnet definitions in Device Security.
SolarWinds Platform UDT solution: individual
device details and their specific switch and port connection, such as switch
names, port numbers, VLAN assignments, and wireless access point information.
The information learned from the UDT solution gives more context when assessing
network security.
If you already have SolarWinds Platform, integrating with Device Security
provides operational benefits by enabling location-based device grouping, supporting
queries based on physical network placement, and triggering alerts when devices
change network locations. You get better visibility into device movement patterns
and can quickly identify devices that relocate between switches or ports. This
visibility helps with enterprise security monitoring, compliance tracking, and
operational troubleshooting in complex environments.
