There are great reasons why you’re connecting more of your operations to your network. But the more you bring your factories online—or your oil fields, or your power lines—the more doors you open to intruders. Intruders who could shut down your operations. Steal your data. Wreck your brand.
Here’s the bad news: Some of them will get in.
Here’s the good news: You’ll be ready for them.

Cisco Security solutions are designed for the rugged challenges of today's industrial networks. So you can:

  • Block
    Intruders
  • Detect
    breaches
  • Contain the
    damage

And solve three of the biggest issues in industrial security today:

1You can’t protect what you can’t see

The problem:
You lack visibility into the increasing volume and variety of devices now connecting to your industrial network.
The solution:
Cisco's industrial network management software can find and recognize these industrial protocols. So you can identify what is connected to your network.

2“Good enough” is now “not enough”

The problem:
Traditional industrial networks got by with a lower tier of security than is found in enterprise networks. But as attacks multiply, this is no longer enough..
The solution:
Cisco gives you the robust security normally associated with enterprise networks and extends this all the way across your industrial environment.

3Remote access needs to be secure access

The problem:
The lack of secure remote access to ongoing operations gets in the way when you need to troubleshoot problems fast.
The solution:
Cisco strategically groups people and devices to enable policy-based access—even from remote locations.
