Preset

Preset

As knowing an industrial network can be really challenging, presets have been created to help you navigating through its numerous data.

A preset is a set of criteria. This concept is a fundamental of Cisco Cyber Vision that will allow you to explore the network in its details from what you need to see. For example, if you are an automatician you could be interested in knowing which PLCs are writing variables. To reach this data, you just need to access one Preset (e.g. OT) and select two criteria (e.g. PLC and Write Var). Think a preset as a magnifying glass in which you can see details of a big network by choosing the metadata processed by Cisco Cyber Vision that meet your business requirements. Several types of view are available to give you full visibility on the results and from different perspectives.

Some generic presets are available by default. You can start by playing with these ones to see what they have to offer. They have been created according to the recommendations and big categories listed in Cisco's playbooks which are the following:

  • Basics, to see all data, or filter data to IT or OT components.

  • Asset management, to identify and make an inventory of all assets associated with OT systems, OT process facilities and IT components.

  • Communications management, to see flows according to their nature (OT, IT, IT infrastructure, IPV6 communications, Microsoft flows).

  • Security, to control remote accesses and insecure activities.

  • Control system integrity, to check the state of industrial processes.

  • Network quality, to see network detection issues.

The category My Preset contains customized presets. You can create presets using criteria to meet your own business logic. However, as Cisco Cyber Vision is a collaborative application, it shouldn't be forgotten that customizations on presets are persistent and impact other users.
