With passive monitoring, visibility can depend on which devices happen to generate traffic.
You might observe 35 devices today and only 25 next week.
But that doesn’t mean the other 10 disappeared.
A true OT asset inventory gives devices permanence.
Once an asset has been discovered and verified, it remains part of the inventory even when it isn’t actively communicating. Active discovery then helps keep that inventory current as the environment changes.
**Not hearing a device doesn’t mean it no longer exists.**
And now imagine trying to keep all of that accurate manually.
That’s another reason to go with active discovery.
