Network Perception NP-View

NP-View is a network security platform designed for operational technology (OT) environments, with a focus on critical infrastructure sectors such as utilities, oil and gas, transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services. Core capabilities include: - Firewall ruleset analysis and automated report generation - Network topology mapping with dynamically updated network maps - Network auditing to identify risks under current deployment configurations - Network segmentation visualization and verification to confirm proper network zoning The platform is oriented toward helping organizations understand and reduce their attack surface by providing visibility into how networks are segmented and how firewall rules are configured. It is designed to support regulatory compliance programs, including NERC CIP, which governs cybersecurity for the North American electric grid. NP-View is used by a significant portion of major US utilities and is positioned for environments where OT and industrial control system (ICS) security are a primary concern. It enables security and compliance teams to generate documentation, verify segmentation boundaries, and audit firewall configurations without requiring active network scanning. The platform was acquired by Dragos, an industrial cybersecurity company, to strengthen network segmentation and access analysis capabilities within their industrial cyber defense portfolio.
