The network extended to factories and plants: industrial switches, plant wireless and visibility over the OT assets.
The factory has its own rules: temperatures, vibrations, industrial protocols and machines that don't stop. Cisco Industrial brings the network there — IE switches on DIN rails, plant wireless and 5G, routers for remote sites — and with Cyber Vision the visibility: every PLC and sensor inventoried, every OT anomaly seen.
The IDMZ and the cells: the office ransomware mustn't touch the lines.
Cyber Vision discovers what's there (often surprising): OT security starts from the census.
The factory network is built with those who live it: windows, constraints and acceptance tests agreed.
Rings, redundancies and industrial PoE: the network that withstands the environment and the failures.
The industrial portfolio (ruggedized Catalyst IE switches, IR routers, industrial APs) brings the managed network into the factory: DIN rail, extended temperatures, resilient rings (REP) and TSN where deterministic is needed; Cyber Vision does passive OT visibility (deep packet inspection of the industrial protocols: Profinet, Modbus, S7) with baselines and anomalies; the IEC 62443 segmentation (zones and conduits, with ISE and firewalls) separates IT from OT without stopping production.
The line data toward MES and analytics, safely.
Remote sites and substations connected and seen.
The factory in the perimeter too, with evidence.
