Cisco vs Ordr

About Ordr

ORDR sells a device security platform that turns device intelligence into enforcement across IT, IoT, OT, and IoMT. ORDR continuously discovers and classifies IT, IoT, OT, and medical devices using passive monitoring and integrations. ORDR passively discovers and profiles every connected device using AI trained on 100M+ real-world devices, with no agents or active scanning required. ORDR integrates with existing infrastructure and does not require rip-and-replace.^[1][4][5]

ORDR's platform has used AI since its inception, with over 8 years of patented technology that has learned from 100+ million connected devices. ORDR automatically discovers and profiles every connected device the moment it joins the network, and ORDR classifies devices with a 2,000+ device profile library.^[7][8]

AI Protect for Security continuously discovers and understands every asset across the environment. AI Protect for Segmentation sits in the Protection Layer of the ORDR platform and automatically generates segmentation policies based on real device behavior. ORDR IQ is the AI-powered orchestration layer that makes asset intelligence accessible across an organization. ORDR IQ interprets signals, correlates verified data, and aligns teams around a shared understanding of risk. ORDR IQ orchestrates workflows across security, IT, and operations using real device intelligence. IT teams can request a list of devices that are EoL or EoS within the next 6 months.^[1][4][5][9]

ORDR passively analyzes traffic to identify every device and map real communication behavior and dependencies. ORDR generates least-privilege policies based on real device behavior and restricts asset-to-asset communication. ORDR controls traffic between network zones and reduces blast radius during security incidents. ORDR simulates policies before enforcement using live traffic data to validate operational impact. ORDR pushes validated policies to infrastructure with one-click deployment and continuously updates them as device behavior changes. ORDR segmentation groups can be built by function, risk, location, or role. ORDR provides device intelligence NAC solutions need to enforce policies for unmanaged devices.^[7]

ORDR shares device intelligence across existing security, IT, and network platforms. ORDR supports bi-directional CMDB sync with ServiceNow, BMC, and other ITSM platforms. ORDR sets automated quarantine policies via Cisco ISE, Aruba ClearPass, and Forescout. ORDR sends alerts to SIEM platforms including Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and IBM QRadar. ORDR consolidates data from Tenable, Qualys, and Rapid7 with deduplication and added device context. ORDR integrates with identity providers, including Okta and Azure AD, to correlate devices with users.^[8][10][11]

ORDR extends Zero Trust to the devices existing architecture cannot see, such as IoT, OT, and IoMT, with continuous visibility, least-privilege enforcement, and dynamic trust scoring. ORDR assigns a dynamic trust score to every device based on posture: patch level, firmware currency, communication behavior, vulnerability exposure, and compliance status. ORDR scores posture continuously against HIPAA, NIST, CIS, and custom frameworks. ORDR Software Inventory Collector provides insight into the software components of assets. ORDR identifies security gaps such as assets missing EDR or MDM agents.^[6][8][11]

In healthcare, ORDR protects connected medical equipment, IV pumps, imaging systems, and IoMT devices that cannot run security agents. CHRISTUS Health lacked visibility into how campus and branch devices communicated with data center workloads. ORDR integrated directly with VMware NSX to translate device intelligence into enforceable segmentation policies. Veritex needed visibility across a rapidly expanding environment of connected assets, from laptops and mobile devices to IP phones, surveillance systems, and operational technologies. ORDR secures branch devices, ATMs, and payment systems, with continuous enforcement for SOX, GLBA, PCI, and DORA requirements. ORDR protects OT environments, industrial control systems, and production equipment. ORDR safeguards POS systems, guest Wi-Fi networks, building automation, and payment processing infrastructure. ORDR offers asset intelligence and segmentation for federal, state, and local government environments. ORDR enforces zero-trust segmentation across headquarters, branches, and remote locations. ORDR lists SOC 2 Type II certification and HIPAA compliance.^{[4][5][6][7][9][10][12][13][14]}
