Energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and university networks gain visibility and resilience with the Lightweight Network Explorer.
"Through the visibility gained, we could immediately identify measures to improve network security and stability. The Explorer helps us segment the OT network, find errors faster during outages, and continuously track network expansion. This saves us a lot of time."
Head of Grid Control Technology, Eniwa
"At Axians we have successfully used the network explorer in various settings. For example to assess the network of a university hospital and to support the network segmentation of a chemical manufacturing company."
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) - VE DACH & CEE ICT, Axians
"The Lightweight Network Explorer is an important foundation for us to implement the ICT minimum standards for critical infrastructure."
Head of IT Swissgas
Vendor-agnostic discovery and analysis across IT and OT network platforms.

Monitoring tools focus on discovering problems, noticing when something is wrong and sending alerts. The Lightweight Network Explorer focuses on fixing the root cause and preventing issues by helping you build networks that are safe and reliable from the start. Whether it's a topology issue, misconfiguration, single point of failure, or security gap, the Explorer gives you the visibility to address the source rather than just reacting to symptoms. These tools are complementary: monitoring tells you when there's a problem; the Explorer helps you understand why and prevent it from happening again.
Yes. It is engineered for critical infrastructure and works seamlessly in OT and IT environments. Customers in energy, healthcare, and manufacturing rely on it to analyze sensitive ICS / OT environments.
Usually it is deployed on a virtual machine (VM) in your network. Since it is lightweight, you can also run it on a laptop, for example for air gapped environments or if you do not want to set up a VM. When the VM is ready, deployment takes less than two hours from installation to first insights.
No hardware sensors or SPAN configurations are required. The Lightweight Network Explorer leverages SSH and APIs, making deployment simple and non-invasive.
The Lightweight Network Explorer is vendor-agnostic and supports major manufacturers such as Cisco, Aruba, Juniper, HP/HPE, MikroTik, Extreme, Dell, Fortinet, and more. Additional vendors can be added on request.
Pricing starts at CHF 3,000 per year, based on the number of network devices. Most customers realize ROI within weeks through the quick wins found during the initial assessment.
Absolutely. Some customers first want to do an initial assessment of their network without a long-term subscription. Consulting partners such as Axians use the Lightweight Network Explorer for assessments, segmentation, and redesign projects. There is an assessment license available for these cases. Furthermore, we support you with assessment templates. See here.
"Lightweight" refers to how fast and easy it is to deploy (<2 hours), its intuitive interface that requires minimal training, and its cost-effectiveness compared to traditional network management solutions. It delivers enterprise-grade network visibility without the complexity and overhead of conventional tools.
The Lightweight Network Explorer is deployed on-premises and all data stays within your environment, unless requested otherwise. No information is sent to external cloud services.
