The Building That Runs the Cloud
See Without Touching the Hall
In a high-uptime building, looking too hard can be its own risk.
Most security tools find devices by poking them. They send probes, scan ports and ask each device what it is.
On a laptop, that's fine. On an old cooling controller, it can be a problem. Some building and industrial devices were never built to handle unexpected traffic. A scan meant to protect them can slow them down, confuse them, or knock them offline.
In a data center, nobody wants to find out which ones.
Listen first
Findavi takes a different approach. It connects through a passive monitoring port and listens. It never sends a single packet to the devices it's learning about.
From that traffic, it builds a record of what it can see. Which devices are on the network. What they are. Who they talk to. How often. Which communication methods they use. It can also connect to an RF switch, which lets it hear wireless links too.
Then it learns what normal looks like. A cooling controller should talk to its building management system, its system for recording readings and its approved management tools. A badge reader should talk to its access server. When either one reaches somewhere new, that stands out.
That's how you catch the 1:42 a.m. moment. A new destination. A vendor session outside its window. A device that suddenly reaches into a zone it never touched before. A brand new device nobody registered.
Your data stays home
Data center teams ask a fair question about any new box on their network. What does it send out?
Findavi's analysis runs on the device itself. The AI runs locally, with no outside AI service. The traffic it learns from is stored on the box, inside your network. Nothing goes to the cloud to be analyzed.
Be honest about the view
Passive listening shows the traffic that reaches the monitoring point.
It can't see a device that never sends traffic past the monitoring point. A cellular modem bolted to a generator may never touch your wired network at all.
So every NetOps IQ assessment says three things plainly. What we saw. What we couldn't see. And what needs a closer look before anyone acts.
