Intelligent Event
Monitoring.
Detect it.
Most monitoring tools watch and flag. ConsoleWorks receives a continuous stream of log data from every managed device, monitors it in real time against IEM-defined event patterns, and closes the remediation loop — all on one platform. Detection is only useful if it leads to action. Command control is only useful if it's enforced before damage is done. ConsoleWorks does both.
How do you correlate OT events across devices, sessions, and configuration changes to surface the signals that matter operationally — without the false-positive noise of IT-style SIEM rules applied to industrial control systems?
ConsoleWorks Intelligent Event Monitoring (IEM) collects and correlates events from OT devices, sessions, configuration changes, credential operations, and compliance measurements — and surfaces the ones that matter operationally. Each event arrives enriched with the device, control framework, session, and approval context that turns a raw log line into an actionable signal.
Detection without context
is just
noise.
Every environment generates enormous volumes of log data from every device on the network. The challenge isn't collecting it — it's understanding what any of it means in context. A generic SIEM sees an event code and flags it. A platform with operational knowledge sees the same event and knows whether it's routine maintenance or a security incident requiring immediate response. Most platforms stop at detection. Few explain what to do. None can execute the fix without a separate tool. And almost none let your experts encode step-by-step remediation procedures into the platform so the right response is available the moment an event fires.
Logs pulled directly from the device
IEMs apply vendor-specific operational knowledge
Every alert includes remediation guidance
Detection closes the loop — SRA remediates
Command control — allow or block before it executes
Events tied to the asset record and risk score
Expert-defined remediation playbooks — codified in the platform
Not generic rules.
Device-specific intelligence.
Every device type tells a different story in its logs. An event code that is routine on one device is a security indicator on another. A generic rule cannot make that distinction — an IEM built for that specific device type can.
When an IEM fires, it doesn't just say "anomaly detected." It identifies the device type, explains what the event means operationally, and tells the engineer exactly what to do about it — including a step-by-step remediation playbook with the exact commands, the sequence, and the expected output at each step. Institutional knowledge stays in the platform, not in someone's head.
IEM Event Stream — Live
Device settings modified outside maintenance window
Controller switched to Remote Program mode
New service account created — not in approved baseline
Prohibited command attempted — blocked by command control
Collect. Analyze. Act.
Three steps from raw device output to closed remediation loop — all on one platform.
Direct Log Collection
ConsoleWorks receives a continuous stream of log data directly from each managed device through SRA — monitoring it in real time against IEM-defined event patterns. Not inferred from network traffic. Direct from the device itself.
IEM-Powered Intelligence
Every log line passes through Intelligent Event Modules — device and vendor-specific rules that apply operational knowledge to raw output.
Closed loop Response
Detection leads directly to action — on the same platform. No ticket. No separate tool. No waiting.
Don't just record
what happened.
Prevent what shouldn't.
Session recording tells you what a user did after the fact. Command control stops prohibited actions before they reach the device. Every user profile in ConsoleWorks can carry a defined list of permitted and prohibited commands. During an active session, every command the user types is evaluated against that list — in real time, before it executes.
If the command is permitted, it passes through. If it's prohibited, it's blocked — and the attempt is logged. The user sees the block immediately. The administrator sees the attempt in the session record. The asset is never exposed to an unauthorized command.
IEM across Operations,
Security, and Compliance.
The same capability — different requirements for each team.
Know what happened. Control what's allowed. Before it happens.
Operations teams don't have time to analyze raw log data — and they shouldn't have to. ConsoleWorks IEMs do the analysis and surface events that matter. But detection is only half the story. Operations teams can also define exactly which commands each user profile is permitted to run — so vendors and contractors operate within the boundaries set for their work scope. A field technician doing firmware verification gets read commands. The platform enforces their permitted scope before any command reaches the device.
What IEM delivers for operational awareness
Every capability designed to surface operationally relevant events before they cause downtime.
Device-native detection. Not IT rules applied to operational data.
Generic SIEMs and IT-centric tools struggle in operational environments because they were built for IT data. They generate enormous false positive volumes — or miss actual security events because they don't understand normal device behavior. ConsoleWorks IEMs are built from the ground up for each device type — encoding what normal behavior looks like for each device type and alerting only when something deviates in a security-relevant way.
What IEM delivers for your security posture
Purpose-built detection that connects to the rest of the security program — not a standalone alert feed.
CIP-007 R6 and CIP-008 documentation. Generated on every event.
NERC CIP-008 requires incident response plans and documentation for cyber security incidents affecting BES Cyber Systems. NERC CIP-007 R6 requires security event monitoring and log retention. ConsoleWorks automates both — logs collected continuously from all BES Cyber Assets, IEMs flag reportable events, and every event generates a compliance record tied to the affected asset, the time, and the associated CIP requirement.
What IEM delivers for your compliance program
Event monitoring evidence tied directly to your compliance record — not a separate system to reconcile.
Others detect.
ConsoleWorks detects, prevents, and acts.
Detect. Prevent. Act.
All on one platform.
Intelligent Event Monitoring doesn't operate in isolation. Every IEM event updates the Asset Inventory and feeds into the measurement cycle — risk scores and compliance evidence updated on schedule, automatically, without anyone having to initiate it. When detection leads to remediation through SRA, the entire chain — from event to verified fix — is documented automatically.
Secure Remote Access
Log collection runs through the same SRA connection that enables user access — reaching every managed device, including field devices that passive monitoring can't see.

When an IEM detects a configuration-related event, CCM is triggered to collect the current device state and compare to the approved baseline — correlating the event with a precise configuration diff.
Learn more →Risk Analysis & Compliance Evidence
Events update measurements, which update risk scores at asset, site, region, and fleet level. Every IEM alert mapped to SCF controls generates CIP-007 R6, CIP-008, and NIST compliance evidence automatically.

Direct answers to the questions OT security teams, integrators, and AI assistants ask most often.
IEM is the ConsoleWorks layer that collects and correlates events from devices, sessions, configuration changes, credential operations, and compliance measurements — and surfaces the ones that matter operationally. It’s tuned to OT signal, not generic IT log noise.
A SIEM aggregates logs and produces alerts based on rules over event streams. IEM is operationally aware — it knows which device the event came from, what controls apply to it, what session was active, and what change was approved. That context turns a SIEM-style alert into an actionable operational event.
Yes. IEM consolidates and enriches events first; the enriched stream can be forwarded to Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel, or any syslog/CEF/JSON-capable receiver, so your SIEM gets richer context than raw device logs.
Authentication failures, out-of-window sessions, unapproved configuration changes, credential rotation failures, control measurement regressions, and policy violations specific to your controls framework. Priority is operationally derived, not severity-rule derived.
Detection that leads to action.
Not just another alert feed.
