SCADA & ICS Network Ports Reference

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and SCADA networks rely on a distinct set of network protocols and ports that differ significantly from typical enterprise IT environments.

PacketViper’s OT360 platform uses this port intelligence natively, applying inline enforcement and deceptive responders against exactly these protocols — without requiring agents or configuration changes to existing OT equipment.

PacketViper’s OT360 platform applies these port signatures inline — monitoring, blocking, and deploying deceptive responders against unauthorized access attempts on any of the above ports without disrupting legitimate OT communications. This provides a protocol-native compensating control for legacy ICS environments that cannot be patched or upgraded.
