Siemens IAH

Overview​

Siemens Industrial Asset Hub (IAH) is a scalable, open and secure SaaS that discovers, identifies and manages OT devices across an industrial enterprise – regardless of vendor or device type. Using an on-prem Asset Gateway and vendor-specific Asset Links, it automatically scans networks, collects status and inventory details (order number, serial number, MAC addresses, firmware / software / hardware versions, etc.) and sends them to the cloud service.

IAH exposes this rich inventory through a web dashboard and a well-documented REST API. Xshield consumes the API, maps the discovered attributes to core tags, properties and system attributes, and keeps them updated on every scheduled sync. This gives you up-to-date visibility of industrial assets and lets you create segmentation policies or risk views without manual data entry.

  6. A message is logged under Monitor > Logs confirming activation.

  7. Once enabled, assets will appear with Siemens tags after the next sync run(can take up to 24 hours). Xshield schedules a job every 24 hours to fetch new or updated assets from Siemens IAH.

Attribute Mapping​

Note: Only devices whose MAC address matches an existing Xshield asset are updated.

Core Tags​

These core tags can be used for searching and creating segments.

The device Serial Number is stored in the Xshield Serial Number attribute.

Properties​

All key–value pairs in Instance Annotations are saved as Xshield properties with the same key name. In addition, a property id is added containing the Siemens asset ID. These properties can be used to create tag rules
