Audi drives innovation in automotive manufacturing
"To increase security, decrease support requirements, and improve flexibility, Audi is developing its Edge Cloud for Production (EC4P) platform. EC4P virtualizes production assets and relies on software-defined networking by Cisco IoT and enterprise solutions that provide a scalable, resilient, secure, and deterministic network."
"When we showed operations that the Cisco network could give them visibility into what's happening in their manufacturing plant so they could solve production issues, they were ready to replace their existing network equipment. And this helped us improve security at the same time."
"Cyber Vision feeds our IT security tools and our security incident and event management (SIEM) platform with OT asset inventory and all OT security events. Our security analysts now have visibility across both IT and OT to act on the alerts, manage risks, and enforce security policies throughout our networks."
Emerson Cardoso, Chief Information Security Officer
Cisco Catalyst Center and industrial IoT switches create a platform for an intelligent transportation systems (ITS) network that supports efficient and accessible transportation at Gwinnett County.
