OPPORTUNITY COST

The price of wasted truck rolls

Truck rolls represent the all-too-often and all-too-expensive field service trips that burn time, money, resources, and energy for organizations across a host of industries – including energy, utilities, telecom, manufacturing, retail, transportation, and more. Every time you send technicians and their truck into the field, the result is spent time, labor, and opportunity cost.

Yet over 25% of truck rolls are considered unnecessary and wasteful by industries that rely on field technicians.

CHALLENGE

Unknown, unmanaged, and unmonitored xIoT devices

The proliferation of xIoT devices – including IoT, OT, and IIoT devices – has only compounded the number of costly, resource-intensive truck rolls. xIoT devices in smart buildings, smart homes, power utilities, railways, telecom sites, and retail outlets are constantly being deployed. Given that many of these devices are unknown, unmanaged, and unmonitored, organizations are challenged to minimize or decrease truck rolls and truck dispatches due to the inability to remotely diagnose, monitor, manage, and maintain mission-critical devices.

Stop Rolled Trucks
in their Tracks

Prevent wasteful truck rolls with complete visibility and control of the state of your assets. The Phosphorus Unified xIoT Security Management Platform provides the industry’s only proactive xIoT security management and breach prevention solution for IoT, OT, and IIoT Cyber-Physical Systems. It fully automates the remediation of the biggest xIoT device vulnerabilities, including unknown and inaccurate asset inventory, out-of-date firmware, default credentials, risky configurations, and out-of-date certificates. The platform also provides stateful monitoring, management, and alerting of all xIoT assets on your network.
