What ShiftSix Is and What It Is Not
✅ What ShiftSix Is
- An OT exposure management platform that discovers internet-facing industrial assets from outside the network
- The external discovery layer for OT CTEM programs. It covers stages 2 (Discovery) and 3 (Prioritization)
- A complement to Dragos, Claroty, and Nozomi | we find what their sensors structurally cannot see
- A passive, agentless tool safe for the most sensitive OT environments. Zero network access required
- Deep OT protocol expertise: 60+ protocols, 500+ ICS device fingerprints
- A threat-informed prioritization engine mapping exposures to CISA KEV, named threat groups, and compliance controls
❌ What ShiftSix Is Not
- Not a CPS Protection Platform. We don’t deploy sensors inside your network or perform deep packet inspection
- Not a network monitoring tool. We don’t detect anomalies in internal OT traffic
- Not a replacement for Dragos, Claroty, or Nozomi. We’re the outside-in complement to their inside-out visibility
- Not a generic EASM tool. We don’t scan for exposed WordPress sites or leaked credentials
- Not a security ratings vendor. We find specific exposed assets, not aggregate scores
- Not a vulnerability scanner. We discover exposure from the adversary perspective, not CVEs on internal hosts
OT CTEM PLATFORM
OT Attack Surface Management & CTEM Platform
Passive outside-in discovery of internet-exposed OT assets. See what attackers see. before they act.
See Inside the Platform
A unified view of your external OT attack surface. from asset discovery through compliance mapping.
Automatic Compliance Mapping
Every finding maps to NERC CIP, IEC 62443, NIST CSF 2.0, and NIS2 controls, audit-ready evidence from outside-in scanning.

ShiftSix vs Traditional OT Monitoring
| Capability | ShiftSix Outside-In |
Traditional OT Tools Inside-Out |
|---|---|---|
| Internet-exposed OT discovery | ✓ | ✗ |
| No agents or network access required | ✓ | ✗ |
| Internal network traffic monitoring | ✗ | ✓ |
| Active threat campaign correlation | ✓ | Partial |
| Compliance mapping (NERC CIP, IEC 62443) | ✓ | Partial |
| Deployment time | Minutes | Weeks/Months |
| Operational risk | Zero | Low-Medium |
ShiftSix is complementary to Dragos, Claroty, and Nozomi. We cover the outside-in perspective that inside-out tools miss.
