01 · Passive Network Monitoring

Intrusion detection for industrial control networks — fully passive.

CYJAN Sentry Mode is a highly specialised Intrusion Detection System for OT/ICS environments. The system runs fully passive — without interfering with running processes — and detects threats, anomalies, and unauthorised access in real time. Designed for critical infrastructure, manufacturing plants, and essential utility networks.

Reference setup
& hardware sizing.

BUILD

Recommended build

  • Sentry appliance (fanless 1U server or DIN-rail PC with equivalent I/O)
  • EU power cord, 4× Cat6 RJ45 patch cables (1.5 m) for mirror / SPAN ports
  • Optional: potential-free contacts (4× 30 V / 2 A), LTE module, redundant PSU
SIZE

Hardware sizing

SMALL
Small to mid-size OT networks, single site
up to 250 assets
MEDIUM
Mid-size production environments, several lines
up to 500 assets
LARGE
Larger critical-infrastructure or multi-site deployments
up to 1,000 assets
Special environments (Ex-rated, marine, vibration-resistant) are doable in principle — I'm happy to discuss hardware choices, tuning, and integration directly per project via email.
