Sector · Industry
A plant exposes more than its walls: its access, its subsidiaries, its suppliers.
Maintenance access, equipment reachable from the internet, subcontractors named by groups, drawings on the open web: VesperID maps that surface from the outside. Remote maintenance access, equipment reachable from the internet, subcontractors named by groups, drawings on the open web: VesperID maps that surface from the outside and tracks what leaves it.
What we watch
- 01 Remote access and equipment exposed on the internet
- 02 Suppliers and subcontractors named by groups
- 03 Drawings, secrets and documents on the open web
In one sentence
For an industrial company, VesperID monitors what a plant exposes beyond its walls: remote access and equipment reachable from the internet, suppliers and subcontractors named by groups, drawings and technical documents on the open web, foreign subsidiaries included.
Risks
Four risks specific to the sector
- 01
Remote maintenance access
Industrial equipment is often maintained remotely by its manufacturer. That access, created for availability, sometimes stays open, poorly inventoried and outside the monitored perimeter.
- 02
Industrial secrets held by third parties
Designs, bills of materials, processes and prices travel through engineering offices, subcontractors and logistics providers. Their compromise exposes your competitive advantage without touching you directly.
- 03
Decentralised estate and acquisitions
Every site, subsidiary and acquired company arrives with its own domains, addresses and habits. The central inventory rarely describes the real state of the exposed surface.
- 04
Supplier chain fraud
A domain imitating a supplier’s is enough to divert a payment or obtain an order. The amounts involved make the operation profitable on the first success.
What we bring
What VesperID brings
-
A real external inventory
The outside view of your domains and address ranges surfaces exposed services the internal inventory does not know about, and flags what appears from one period to the next.
-
Supplier chain monitoring
Your critical suppliers become monitored keywords: a public claim involving them reaches you without depending on their own communication.
-
Escaped secrets and documents
Published source code, shared configuration files, open storage: we detect what left your teams or your engineering offices, and what needs revoking.
-
Governance per site
Each subsidiary can hold its own assets and its own visibility, while the group keeps the consolidated view and a single report.

A scenario written to explain a mechanism: it describes no client.
During the first synchronisation of a group’s perimeter, the outside view surfaces an administration interface reachable on an address range belonging to a subsidiary acquired two years earlier. The service answers, advertises an old product version, and appears in no central inventory. No penetration test is run: the observation alone triggers an internal check, which confirms a maintenance access left open by an integrator. In parallel, two addresses from that subsidiary appear in infected-machine logs, which directs remediation towards the workstations involved. This scenario illustrates the common gap between declared inventory and real surface; it describes no client.
What you get: the scenario's chain as the client area draws it, from origin to effect.
Frequently asked questions
Do you monitor industrial networks and controllers?
We observe what is reachable from the internet within your declared perimeter, which includes equipment exposed by mistake. We do not operate inside industrial networks and run no active testing: specialised supervision remains necessary for the inside.
How do you onboard a newly acquired company?
Its domains and address ranges are added to the perimeter, verified, then monitored like the rest; the available history is pulled in at the first synchronisation. It is often the fastest way to discover what an acquisition actually brings in terms of exposure.
How many suppliers should we monitor?
The ones that genuinely hold your data or your designs, not the whole procurement database. A short, well-chosen list produces actionable alerts; an exhaustive list produces noise and ends up ignored.
