| Cisco launches a complete security architecture for the Internet of Industrial Things |
Cisco introduces an Internet of Things security framework that improves the visibility of IT environments and operating technologies, improves the security of industrial processes, and supports new data collection and extraction solutions at the edge of the Internet of Things so that companies can increase their efficiency to make better decisions and accelerate digital transformation projects.
Cisco notes that this important event will take place as part of its firm belief that today's networks are the backbone of operational technology that represents the infrastructure of key sectors such as energy, transportation and manufacturing. The need for companies to access data stored by these systems increases in real time. Improve production, manage costs and raise safety standards.
"Companies need a deep and comprehensive understanding of the highly differentiated network environment to secure their leadership, reduce the risks of cyber threats and improve industrial processes," said Osama Al-Zoubi, Cisco Middle East and Africa technical director.
Innovations in the new IoT security architecture include:
- Industrial network environment protection: Cisco Cyber Vision is the first software-based security system designed to automatically search for industrial assets in Cisco IoT networks. Cisco Cyber Vision analyzes traffic between connected assets, and the isolation strategy is defined in every Cisco ISE. The DNA center prevents threats in the operating environment from moving sideways. The system relies on Cisco Talos to analyze threats and monitor real-time cyber security threats to industrial assets and processes that affect availability, productivity, and security.
- Manage data from network edge to multiple cloud structures: Cisco Edge Intelligence technology integrated into Cisco Industrial Network simplifies the process of extracting data from network edge. Modern technologies facilitate the transfer of data to multiple destinations in the cloud infrastructure and internal business goals process, which increases job competitiveness and improves data management for all important aspects of the data life cycle.
Through its solutions, Cisco eliminates the complexity of a multi-vendor infrastructure environment, multiple data, and multiple assets, providing a simple, managed IoT security solution on any platform - Cisco, Switch, or Router model, to ensure complete security and simplified data management.
