Orro claims Australia first with managed digital asset discovery service

Orro claims to be the first in Australia to offer Digital Asset Discovery (DAD) as a managed service for operational technology (OT).

The service enables organisations to gain real-time visibility of critical assets and helps monitor associated risks and ensure ongoing compliance with evolving security regulations, such as the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act.

Unlike traditional asset discovery tools requiring internal management, Orro said its service ensures continuous visibility and risk assessment as part of an integrated cybersecurity framework.

The managed approach transforms asset discovery from a static exercise into an ongoing security and compliance function by removing complexity.

"Orro's Digital Asset Discovery service is the first step in a bottom-up approach to OT security, giving our customers the visibility they need to make the best decisions for their business," Daniel Greengarten, chief executive officer of Orro, said.

The service provides ongoing insights that drive proactive security and compliance for customers, both now and in the future.

"Most asset discovery solutions in OT environments have been treated as one-off deployments rather than an ongoing security function," Michael van Rooyen, chief technology officer at Orro, said.

"The challenge isn't just identifying assets—it's ensuring they remain visible, monitored, and protected in real time."

The DAD service is delivered through a portable edge data centre deployed to the customer's site, which connects wirelessly to Orro's security operations team.

A private hospital is currently using the service, with Orro providing specialised clinical asset discovery to secure connected medical devices and ensure compliance with healthcare security regulations.
