Unify Security for IT and OT Applications

Connected Factory Security is the latest version of the Cisco Connected Factory series of solutions. Building on the best practices of our Connected Factory Automation and Connected Factory Wireless solutions, the Connected Factory suite of solutions protects plant assets with converged-access security products, technologies, and services. In addition, the solution aids in the unification of security implementations that may span IT and operational technology (OT) environments.

Securing the Path to IoE Value

Customers may already be harnessing a new generation of predictive maintenance, quality, and real-time energy-use analytics from machine systems, plant-floor mobile apps, and cloud-based services. Gaining efficiencies, but also exposing industrial automation and control systems (IACS) to new security threats. What if you could realize the benefits of the Internet of Things (IoT) while deploying a fully integrated and standardized suite of security tools?

Cisco and Rockwell Automation have designed the Connected Factory Security suite to address IACS security risks and transform diverse manufacturing processes into a unified and highly secure communication system that links infrastructure, machines, and people.

Working with Cisco Services and industry-leading partners like Rockwell Automation, the Connected Factory Security suite of solutions provides effective, robust plant-floor security with validated designs and proven methodologies.

With this solution you can:

• Protect your intellectual property
• Safeguard employee and customer information
• Provide ubiquitous, highly secure, and reliable access to plant assets
