Sensor monitoring for degradation, counterfeiting, and intrusion

SensAbility is a passive physical-layer monitoring platform that verifies sensors and connected devices through native signal emissions, physical-layer fingerprinting, and Distinct Native Attribute analysis.

We detect signal drift, counterfeit hardware, rogue devices, unauthorized substitutions, and abnormal device behavior without firmware access, device agents, or disruptive teardown.

  • Secure your infrastructure at the physical layer
  • Deploy without downtime
  • Built for SCADA, ICS, IoT, and IIoT environments

Introducing SensAbility by Sensor Biometrics

SensAbility monitors the systems that monitor your operations.

Built by Sensor Biometrics, SensAbility uses physical-layer signal behavior to help determine whether a sensor or connected device is genuine, healthy, and behaving within its trusted baseline.

Instead of relying only on credentials, firmware state, serial numbers, or network labels, SensAbility evaluates the measurable signal characteristics a device actually emits. Those characteristics can help validate device identity, detect degradation, identify counterfeit hardware, and flag abnormal behavior earlier.

For industrial and infrastructure operators, that means better visibility into the devices behind the data.

Critical infrastructure threats are already reaching the device layer.

Recent federal warnings show why physical-layer visibility matters. In April 2026, EPA, FBI, CISA, and NSA warned that Iranian-affiliated cyber activity was exploiting operational technology used by drinking water and wastewater systems. The advisory reported disruptions affecting critical infrastructure operations, including HMI disruption, configuration wiping, and sensor tampering.

“Cyberattacks on drinking water and wastewater systems directly threaten public health and community resilience.”

Most monitoring tools look at software, logs, credentials, and network behavior. SensAbility adds another layer: direct signal-level validation of the devices themselves.

When the device layer changes, SensAbility helps operators know sooner.

Proven Protection for High-Value Systems

Signal-Based Device Verification

Validate the device, not just the network identity.

Credentials, firmware state, serial numbers, and network behavior all matter. But they do not prove that the underlying device is genuine, healthy, or operating as expected.

Don’t assume your sensors are genuine and accurate. Only measurable authenticity.

SensAbility uses passive physical-layer fingerprinting to evaluate the signal characteristics a device actually emits. These characteristics can help verify whether a device matches its trusted baseline and whether its behavior has changed in a meaningful way, giving operators a more direct way to monitor device integrity across complex environments with mixed vendors, mixed protocols, and mixed infrastructure.

Core Capabilities

Predictive Maintenance

Detect early signal drift and degradation before it becomes downtime.

SensAbility helps identify changes in device behavior that may indicate wear, aging, component stress, calibration issues, or abnormal operating conditions.

Real-Time Device Validation

Confirm that trusted hardware still behaves like trusted hardware.

SensAbility compares live device signals against known-good baselines to help validate device identity without relying only on metadata, firmware, or network labels.

Authentication Features

Counterfeit Hardware Detection

Verify hardware authenticity without teardown.

SensAbility can help identify counterfeit, cloned, substituted, or tampered devices by detecting signal-level differences from trusted hardware profiles.

Network Backdoor Detection

Find rogue devices hiding behind trusted network identity.

SensAbility can help detect rogue, spoofed, or unauthorized devices by detecting signal-level differences that credentials, metadata, and network labels may miss.

Real-Time Attack Alerts

Know when device behavior changes.

SensAbility alerts on meaningful physical-layer deviations, helping teams investigate spoofing, substitution, tampering, degradation, or abnormal operating states earlier.

Built for Operational Environments

Designed for the systems that keep operations running.

SensAbility is built for environments where uptime matters, device access is limited, and infrastructure is often mixed across vendors, generations, and protocols.

It can support:

SCADA and ICS Environments

Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities

IoT and IIoT Device Networks

Legacy Infrastructure

Embedded and COTS Hardware Environments

Power, Water, and Energy Infrastructure

Unlike traditional monitoring tools which rely on credentials, firmware state, and network behavior, SensAbility utilizes signal characteristics at the physical layer, providing a more robust fingerprint than software-reported identity alone. This gives operators a powerful additional layer of assurance, helping them with predictive maintenance, detection of counterfeit devices, rogue hardware, and hidden backdoors before they deepen operational risk.

Signal-Agnostic Platform

Built for more than one signal environment.

SensAbility is designed to work across diverse operational settings. If a device emits a measurable wired or wireless signal, that signal can potentially support identity validation, condition monitoring, counterfeit detection, and anomaly detection.

A signal-agnostic approach makes SensAbility practical for real industrial environments, where one site may include legacy devices, modern sensors, embedded systems, vendor-specific equipment, and multiple communication methods.

Instead of forcing customers into one hardware type or one network design, SensAbility is built to adapt to the infrastructure already in place.

Predictive Maintenance and Authentication in One Solution

SensAbility provides a dual value proposition:  earlier insight into degradation, instability, and maintenance risk on one side, and stronger hardware trust and threat detection on the other. For operators, that means better reliability and better security from the same underlying signal intelligence.

Physical-layer visibility is not only useful for identifying when trusted hardware begins to drift, degrade, or behave outside its expected baseline. It can also reveal rogue or counterfeit devices.

If your environment includes SCADA, ICS, IoT, IIoT, embedded systems, or mixed-vendor infrastructure, SensAbility is designed to align with the realities of operational deployment. Our technology integrates without requiring firmware modifications, device replacement, or unnecessary downtime.

About Sensor Biometrics

Sensor Biometrics provides insight into critical infrastructure by verifying device authenticity at the physical layer, enabling predictive maintenance and alarming for threats that traditional cybersecurity tools miss. Our patented DNA signature technology detects device malfunction and calibration drift while building provable trust at the physical layer, detecting counterfeits, rogue devices, and hidden vulnerabilities before they compromise operations.
