Digital Manufacturing
Now is the time to digitize
Factories must evolve faster than ever due to ongoing supply-chain issues, the need for shorter product introduction cycles, ever-present cyberthreats, and more. You can either let these challenges disrupt your production or tackle them head on by digitizing your operations.
1. Build your network with a secure architecture
Manufacturers are digitizing their operations to benefit from the predictive maintenance, optimizations, and innovations it can bring. But digitization also increases security risks which must be addressed concurrently. With Cisco® industrial IoT solutions, you can connect and unify industrial operations to create a stronger, more secure factory. With a stronger foundation, your operations can immediately identify issues, respond, and recover.
2. Remove blind spots and gain visibility into your operations
To secure your operation, you need visibility to determine the details of your connected devices, communication flows, and security vulnerabilities. Network visibility and insights keep production running efficiently and securely. Cisco Cyber Vision provides you complete visibility of devices and communications across a range of industrial automation systems to proactively pinpoint the root cause of potential failures.
3. Set boundaries to minimize cyberthreats
Industrial control systems are inherently unsecure environments, which can allow the theft of intellectual property and enable malware to be placed into your factory. Cisco security technologies including industrial and Firepower firewalls, Cyber Vision, Cisco Identity Services Engine, and features within Industrial Ethernet switches, enforce boundaries and govern communication between systems. Verifying identity, compartmentalizing the production floor, and regulating communications is critical to limiting the impact of malware.
4. Gain operational agility
Looking for ways to add new assets, optimize processes, and increase capacity? A secure, flexible, automated network can be updated and maintained through softwaredefined network management, to drive agility and simplicity across your global operations. Cisco DNA Center is a software-defined platform focused on scalable automation, network assurance, and security.
5. Migrate with confidence
Migrating your network can be complex and risky due to existing systems, multiple vendors, and 24/7 production. Cisco Validated Designs are lab-tested and provide guidance with step-by-step instructions to help you seamlessly implement a modern secure factory network to meet your digitization demands. Our in-house services and global partner ecosystem provide implementation capabilities that align to your operational needs and integrate the expertise from IT.
