Operational Technology Management | Overview
with service now operational technology management
you can streamline operations boost productivity and reduce downtime on the production floor at
service now we think of operational technology or OT as all the hardware software and workflows that
automate industrial processes taking raw materials and producing finished goods we can divide the OT
environment into an OT Network where production takes place and an IT Network it devices exist
on both networks but OT devices exist only on the OT Network OT management has its challenges
for example with limited visibility you may not know how many OT devices you have or where
they're located old infrastructures have many vulnerabilities making it difficult to identify
and prioritize critical OT devices for remediation manual processes that differ from site to site
are difficult to track and Legacy knowledge gets lost over time time if it's not recorded
in a central place service now operational technology management helps you overcome
these challenges the operational technology management solution provides applications that
incorporate OT data from multiple sources the Purdue model framework and the ISA equipment
model to Define critical infrastructure levels provide a complete contextual view of OT systems
help maintain system security and availability by reducing risk and increasing compliance and
connect your OT data to production processes and workflows let's take a closer look the Purdue
model is often used to visualize OT environments here levels 0 through 3.5 are OT networks and
levels four and five are it networks traditionally service now has Managed IT with itom and itsm
operational technology management takes that same functionality in to the industrial Network so now
you can manage your industrial devices from level three where most of the management and control
of your operations are all the way to level zero where you move and measure things this management
includes all device types from sensors and robots to servers and virtual machines operational
technology manager provides visibility into the OT devices specific to the sites accessible
to the logged in user the dedicated industrial workspace provides a seamless EXP experience
for navigating across OT devices and their related details in the list view selecting all
OT devices displays all devices on this system and their attributes we can filter by class
and group by Discovery Source you populate your OT device data from OT certified service
graph connectors service now Discovery and Excel spreadsheets and then aggregate data
from various sources into multisource cmdbs including data from spreadsheets using the service
graph connector for operational technology Excel and then you can view the data in many different
ways through the operational technology sublists for example by OT supervisory systems and OT
control systems with modules that's how you manage your whole OT network with service now
