Networks have become the foundational backbone for the operational technology (OT) that underpins critical infrastructure including energy, transportation and manufacturing.
Organisations increasingly require real-time access into the data these systems hold to improve production, manage costs and enhance safety metrics. Cisco has introduced an IoT security architecture that provides enhanced visibility across both IT and OT environments and protects industrial processes.
Cisco’s new solutions enable the collection and extraction of data from the IoT Edge so organisations can increase efficiencies to make better business decisions and accelerate digitisation projects.
“Organisations need complete visibility into the most disparate of network environments in order to secure their industrial edge, lower the risk of cyberthreats and optimise industrial processes,” said Osama Al-Zoubi, Cisco CTO for Middle East and Africa.
Cisco’s new IoT security architecture innovations include securing the Industrial Network Environment.
Cisco Cyber Vision is the first software-based security solution for automated discovery of industrial assets delivered via Cisco’s Industrial IoT (IIoT) networking portfolio.
Cisco Cyber Vision analyses traffic from connected assets, creates segmentation policies in Cisco ISE and DNA Centre to prevent lateral movement of threats across the operational environments and is powered by Cisco Talos’ threat intelligence.
This provides real-time monitoring of cybersecurity threats to industrial assets and processes that impact uptime, productivity and safety.
