This white paper explains how Phosphorus Intelligent Active Discovery identifies, classifies, and assesses IoT, OT, IoMT, IIoT, and other connected devices without relying on SPAN ports, TAPs, packet brokers, agents, or MAC-address assumptions. Its patented discovery engine uses native device protocols and dynamically adjusts probe sequencing, packet rates, ports, and discovery tiers to protect sensitive and mission-critical systems. The platform provides high-fidelity details on device type, manufacturer, model, firmware, services, credentials, certificates, lifecycle status, and vulnerabilities enriched with KEV and EPSS data. It also supports password rotation, firmware and certificate management, configuration hardening, continuous monitoring, and scalable remediation.
