E80 Group ensures safe and efficient operations of their AGVs
"By leveraging the hosted and built-in defense-in-depth security features of Cisco Industrial Ethernet switches, we gain the visibility, segmentation, and device authentication necessary to detect and contain malware before it can compromise the security and safety of our deployments."
"With Cyber Vision [running on Cisco Industrial Ethernet switches], we now have the visibility into our mission-critical OT networks as a first step to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve our security posture. Cyber Vision found more than 20 instances of malware in our substations and identified features and protocols that don't need to be active."
Emerson Cardoso, Chief Information Security Officer
"Audi is renowned as a builder of premium cars with high build quality and progressive design. Right now we are developing our Edge Cloud for Production (EC4P) which relies on Cisco's software-defined networking. The EC4P will house virtualized production assets increasing security, reducing costs, decreasing support requirements, and improving flexibility. Moving workloads from the production environment to the EC4P requires a highly scalable, resilient, secure, and deterministic network. Cisco IoT and Enterprise networking solutions provide the technology and tools on which we are building our next-generation, software-defined networking factory."
Securing industrial networks and critical infrastructures
"Gaining visibility into industrial assets is key to securing operations. The combination of Cyber Vision and Cisco industrial networking makes it simple to gain visibility at scale. It's the foundation for a robust OT network and a comprehensive approach to IoT security."
ARC analyzes the rise in industrial networking investments
"Industrial networks are vital strategic components for addressing today's macroeconomic, competitive, and regulatory challenges. A converged approach that incorporates IT, OT, and security requirements for centralized management and visibility is necessary to ensure secure, resilient communications from the production environment throughout the enterprise."
