To effectively integrate with our SOC, any OT anomaly detection system must be capable of sending alerts (at minimum) to our SIEM (Splunk Cloud). In addition to the security monitoring enhancements the OT anomaly detection system will bring to our compliance with the NIS Directive/Regulations, the additional asset discovery and vulnerability identification are key areas in which we expect the solution to assist.
