OT Network Visibility Score with network visibility impact score of 20 score: a worked example
Push network visibility impact score up to 20 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when prioritizing passive monitoring, asset discovery, sensor placement, and zone visibility improvements.
The inputs for this scenario
- Network visibility impact score: 20 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 8)
- Network blind spot exposure score: 7 score (unchanged)
- Monitoring weakness score: 5 score (unchanged)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (OT network visibility risk score = network visibility impact score × network blind spot exposure score × monitoring weakness score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 11.7 score for ot network visibility risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 20 score for network visibility impact score.
- At this operating point the engine returns 7 score for network blind spot exposure score.
- At this operating point the engine returns 5 score for monitoring weakness score.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where network visibility impact score sits at 8 score and the headline result is 6.9 score, this scenario comes in 69.57% above the baseline at 11.7 score.
- It multiplies three 0-10 sub-scores (impact, blind-spot exposure, monitoring weakness) into a single OT network visibility risk score. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
