Event type
xDome Device Security Alert
OT/IoT/ICS security alerts with device context and risk scoring
Security alerts generated by Claroty xDome for OT/IoT/ICS devices including firmware vulnerabilities, unauthorized communications, policy violations, and threat detections with MITRE ATT&CK mappings.
Overview
What this event covers
Security alerts generated by Claroty xDome platform for industrial control systems, IoT devices, and medical equipment including vulnerability detections, unauthorized communications, policy violations, and threat indicators.
When generated
- ›When outdated or vulnerable firmware is detected on OT/IoT devices
- ›When unauthorized network communications are observed
- ›When devices violate network segmentation policies
- ›When anomalous protocol behavior is detected
- ›When configuration changes occur on critical assets
- ›When baseline deviations are identified
- ›When MITRE ATT&CK techniques are observed
Security relevance
HighCompliance
Frequency notes
Moderate frequency with higher rates during business hours when security teams actively investigate alerts. Frequency increases during vulnerability scans or after new device discoveries. Critical environments may see 20-50 alerts per hour.
