The Data Fidelity Gap: Fixing the Asset Visibility Problem

/ / 3 min read
Featured image for our blog: The Data Fidelity Gap: Fixing the Asset Visibility Problem

Cyber-physical systems asset visibility has been treated as a binary state: either you see a device on a network or you don’t. But as environments scale and threats like hacktivism and supply chain vulnerabilities intensify, an undeniable truth has emerged: Data quality matters more than raw device counts.

Whether they’re aware of it, many security leaders today are operating with a visibility gap. They have dashboards filled with thousands of assets, yet they lack the deep attributes—firmware versions, serial numbers, and precise card slot configurations—required to actually apply a patch or verify compliance with mandates such as NIS2 or CIRCIA. When visibility is incomplete, exposure management stalls and security becomes a reactive process

Asset visibility is never complete—it must be continuously measured. True operational governance requires moving past AI-driven guesstimates or inferences about what an asset might be. It requires a transition from passive awareness to a repeatable, automated process that turns data gaps into guided actions. By treating visibility as a quantifiable KPI, organizations can finally bridge the gap between IT security goals and OT operational realities, ensuring that every asset is not just seen, but understood.

Introducing Visibility Recommendations in Claroty xDome

To help our users close the visibility gap, today Claroty launches Visibility Orchestration, a transformative suite of features within xDome designed to move users from measurement to action.

Visibility Recommendations 

This intelligent engine analyzes your environment’s visibility score and generates a prioritized checklist of actions—such as data collection via Claroty Edge or enabling a CrowdStrike integration—to fill critical data gaps such as MAC addresses or OS versions.

Centralized Edge Management 

We have revolutionized interactions with Claroty Edge, our flexible, hardware-free data collector. Users can now configure, schedule, and monitor periodic data collection runs for multiple hosts across a site directly from the xDome console, eliminating the need for host-by-host configuration and providing a clear audit trail of all discovery tasks.

In-App Integration Orchestration 

To reduce navigation fatigue, users can now trigger EDR, cloud, and SNMP integrations directly within their recommendation workflow, ensuring that the path from identifying a blind spot to fixing it is seamless and instantaneous.

By aligning these foundational capabilities, xDome ensures CPS data is not just present, but high-fidelity and audit-ready, providing the verified truth necessary for modern industrial security.

Closing the Visibility-Action Gap

Established asset visibility and insights are needed for all CPS security outcomes. Whether your goal is regulatory compliance, risk reduction, or operational resilience, every CPS protection program starts with a clear picture of your environment. In today’s CPS landscape, visibility shouldn’t be a manual burden that requires team members to walk the facility with a clipboard. 

By prioritizing actions that security and operations teams can confidently execute, xDome turns asset visibility from static inventory lists into an automated, repeatable process. With visibility recommendations, security teams have a prioritized roadmap to bridge data gaps while leadership finally has the quantifiable metrics needed to prove the ROI of their CPS protection program.
