How does ABEGuardOT collect data without disrupting OT systems?

ABEGuardOT uses a lightweight folder-based agent — a folder placed on the C: drive of monitored systems. The agent is a standalone executable with no Registry dependencies and no DLL changes. It collects data using PowerShell commands encapsulated in Python scripts and transmits data back to the ABEGuardOT server on a schedule defined by the customer. It can even run from a shared network location in some configurations, requiring no local copy on the monitored machine. No active scanning of controllers or PLCs occurs, which eliminates the risk of disrupting running processes.
