Market analysis for a network discovery and analytics platform

Abstract

This Master's thesis analyses the challenges and requirements of fenaco in network visibility, -observability, and security, particularly in the context of the increasing convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT), as well as the spread of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices. The analysis is based on twelve interviews with fenaco experts as well as a proof-of-concept (PoC) of the Narrowin Network Explorer, which was tested for its effectiveness and suitability to fulfill fenaco's specific requirements.
