Phosphorus

Don't Just See Cyber-Physical Devices — Manage Them

Phosphorus discovers, hardens and continuously manages your IoT, OT and IoMT devices. No hardware, SPAN ports or TAPs required — it deploys in minutes and operational cost doesn't grow with scale.

Three Core Stages

Discover, Harden, Monitor

Phosphorus runs the xIoT lifecycle across three stages: discovery and assessment, automated hardening and continuous monitoring — all from one platform, with human oversight preserved at every step.

Discovery & Assessment

Classify your IoT/OT/IoMT devices, score vulnerabilities by brand and model. Skip the months- long PoC and get results in minutes.

  • Brand, model, firmware version detection
  • No hardware / SPAN / TAP required
  • Risk scoring and prioritisation

Credential Rotation

Automatically rotate default and weak passwords and apply your password policies. Integrates natively with PAM platforms like CyberArk.

  • Automated default-credential discovery
  • PAM (CyberArk) integration
  • Bulk / batch rotation

Firmware Management

Upgrade or downgrade device firmware at scale. Detect legacy / EOL devices and prevent uncontrolled updates.

  • Bulk firmware updates
  • Downgrade & rollback support
  • EOL device alerts

Certificate Management

Manage and renew device certificates at scale; automatically report on near-expiry or weak- algorithm certificates.

  • Bulk certificate rotation
  • Expiry alerts
  • Weak-algorithm detection

Configuration Hardening

Disable insecure services like Telnet and FTP at scale; standardise device policies across the estate.

  • Disable unnecessary services
  • Standard policies
  • Drift detection

Prohibited Device Detection

Discover NDAA Section 889 banned devices (Huawei, Dahua, Hikvision, ZTE, Hytera) and their OEM firmware — and disable them remotely when needed.

  • NDAA 889 compliance
  • OEM firmware fingerprinting
  • Remote disable

Platform Architecture

Full Visibility, Safe Automation

This isn't passive observation — it's active control. Phosphorus doesn't just report on findings; it safely touches devices to take action.

Sector-Specific Coverage

Manage xIoT devices across data centres, retail, healthcare, finance and manufacturing in one platform. A common control surface for ICS, OT and IIoT devices.

Healthcare / IoMT Banking & Finance Manufacturing / ICS Data Center
~70%
Default Credentials

Most xIoT devices still carry default credentials.

~68%
Outdated Firmware

68% of devices run vulnerable or out-of-date firmware.

Integrations

Native integrations with Check Point, ServiceNow, CyberArk, Axonius and Microsoft Sentinel — extending your existing investments.

Continuous Monitoring

Device drift (configuration change, new service, unexpected behaviour) is automatically detected and forwarded to the SOC.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about Phosphorus

Supported protocols, agentless operation, SIEM integration and critical-infrastructure use cases.

Across IT/IoT/OT/IoMT, Phosphorus supports industrial protocols such as Modbus, BACnet, OPC-UA and DNP3 alongside common management protocols like HTTP/HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, SNMP, RTSP and ONVIF. Devices are identified through deep fingerprinting on brand, model and firmware version.

Yes — Phosphorus is fully agentless. Nothing is installed on the device; the platform communicates over native protocols to perform discovery, audit and remediation. That makes it easy to use in sensitive OT / ICS production environments.

Phosphorus pushes device enrichment and alerts to SIEM platforms — most notably Microsoft Sentinel. With PAM platforms like CyberArk, it manages credentials through the password vault. Workflow and ticketing happens through ServiceNow; asset detail joins via Axonius; and network-centric isolation is enabled through the Check Point integration.

Banking & Finance: continuous security for ATMs, kiosks, IP cameras and BMS devices. Healthcare: hardening of patient- safety-critical IoMT devices (infusion pumps, MRIs, vital monitors and similar). Manufacturing / ICS: credential and firmware control for Modbus / OPC-UA devices. Retail: in-store POS, camera and kiosk inventory management. Data centre: security for out-of-band devices such as PDUs, KVMs, BMS and IPMI.

Device-level inventory, password management and audit reports are a critical requirement under most data-protection regimes (GDPR / KVKK Article 12 and equivalents). Phosphorus delivers concrete evidence in the form of device inventory, password rotation, certificate status and drift reports. Outputs map cleanly to NDAA 889, NIST SP 800-82 (ICS Security) and IEC 62443 controls.

Phosphorus is software-based and requires no extra hardware. Initial discovery on a pilot IP block completes within hours. Production-scale rollout typically takes 1–4 weeks depending on the size of the organisation. The CyberDistro xIoT team supports PoC and roll-out on-site.

Under the US federal regulation NDAA Section 889, Huawei, Dahua, Hikvision, ZTE, Hytera and other brands carrying their OEM firmware are banned. Phosphorus identifies these devices by actual firmware signature rather than brand label and lets you disable them remotely. This is an important building block for supply-chain risk management.

Both options are available. Critical-infrastructure scenarios usually prefer on-prem deployment (your own DC or OT network), while more flexible scenarios may use a cloud management layer. CyberDistro provides advisory on the best architecture for your environment.
