Modernize and secure your industrial operations through IT
Enhance productivity and efficiency by using IT networking proficiencies in OT. Nurture the IT/OT partnership to bolster security, transform operations, and advance industrial AI.
Elevate
OT with IT proficiencies to meet changing needs of industry
Boost industrial efficiency and prepare for the future with a network that's purpose-built for OT and that uses leading IT technologies in security, management, and scalability.
Standardize on mainstream technologies
Lower your infrastructure costs and accelerate innovation with an industrial network that IT teams already know how to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot.
Build a more adaptive network
Respond faster to business needs with automated onboarding and rapid reconfigurations. Prevent performance bottlenecks while saving time and reducing error frequency.
Unite, streamline, and protect
Bring advanced security to industrial operations and better protect the entire organization with solutions that understand OT and unify threat detection and remediation.
Prepare for a future of AI
Improve operations with a deterministic, resilient, and low-latency secure network as you lay the foundation for data-driven decision making, more software control, and industrial AI.

Industrial Ethernet switches
Strengthen the IT/OT partnership with rugged switches that run the same operating system and use the same management tools as IT does but that are purpose-built for OT.
Enable reliable, scalable, and secure field operations with modular routers that use the advanced SD-WAN technologies IT has been relying on for years.
Deploy a consistent, scalable, and secure network architecture for both IT and OT. Enable secure data flows between the two domains through unified zero-trust security policy.
Protect your organization with clear IT/OT boundaries. Detect encrypted and zero-day threats. Enforce macrosegmentation policies to protect operations.
Secure remote access to your OT assets with a zero-trust solution that is simple to deploy at scale and is built for the needs of your operations team.
Connect and secure distributed field assets with ease by using a single platform to manage routers, unify security policies, and integrate your OT with your secure access service edge (SASE) infrastructure.
This business case explores key drivers of OT modernization, including standardization, cybersecurity, network automation, and AI readiness. Learn how leaders extend IT proficiencies to OT, through a simple IT/OT collaboration framework, to make real-world gains in operational and financial efficiencies.
Achieve operational excellence by reducing risk, accelerating transformation, and optimizing your network with expert guidance, validated designs, best practices, and proven processes.
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.
