OT network sensors use agentless, patented technology to discover, learn, and continuously monitor network devices for a deep visibility into Operational Technology (OT) / Industrial Control System (ICS) risks. Sensors carry out data collection, analysis, and alerting on-site, making them ideal for locations with low bandwidth or high latency.

## How should I estimate the number of committed devices?

We suggest using existing resources in your environment, for example Meraki, CMDB and other sources to get that estimation, as well as the device inventories in Defender for Endpoint and Defender for IoT. Once you have onboarded Defender for IoT, discovered devices will begin to populate in the device inventory and then you can update the number of your committed devices accordingly. A device would be a set combination of IP address and a MAC address. For more information, see [Defender for IoT committed devices](how-to-manage-subscriptions.md#defender-for-iot-committed-devices).
