OT Network Visibility Score with network visibility impact score of 4 score: a worked example
This worked example runs the ot network visibility score numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: network visibility impact score of 4 score instead of the typical 8 score. Rank OT network visibility using asset impact, blind spot exposure, and monitoring weakness.
The inputs for this scenario
- Network visibility impact score: 4 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 8)
- Network blind spot exposure score: 7 score (held at the documented default)
- Monitoring weakness score: 5 score (held at the documented default)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: OT network visibility risk score = network visibility impact score × network blind spot exposure score × monitoring weakness score.
- OT network visibility risk score works out to 5.3 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- Network visibility impact score works out to 4 score at these inputs.
- Network blind spot exposure score works out to 7 score at these inputs.
- Monitoring weakness score works out to 5 score at these inputs.
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 23.19% below the baseline at 5.3 score.
- Use it to compare and rank OT zones, cells, or sites when prioritizing network monitoring investments. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
Results at a glance
- OT network visibility risk score: 5.3 score (headline result)
- Network visibility impact score: 4 score
- Network blind spot exposure score: 7 score
- Monitoring weakness score: 5 score
