Where do you start to achieve true network visibility?

OT (Operational Technology) is a specialized domain that benefits from network visibility but is not the foundational starting point for achieving true network-wide visibility.

Branches are network segments that feed into the broader infrastructure; starting visibility efforts at the branch level yields only partial, siloed insight rather than true end-to-end coverage.

IT encompasses a broad set of systems and services, but true network visibility must begin at the fabric layer that underlies and interconnects all IT components, not at the application or service layer.

Starting at the fabric level means leveraging the network infrastructure itself - switches, routers, and fabric components - as distributed sensors that generate telemetry across the entire environment. This foundational layer provides the end-to-end context required before meaningful visibility can be extended to branches, IT systems, or OT domains, making it the correct starting point for comprehensive network awareness.
