The end of the year and the start of the next is always a time of retrospection and celebration. In this blog, we\u2019ll take a look back at the key topics and trends that defined the industrial IoT journey in 2023.<\/p>\n

Security, security, security
\nTheme of simplify IT for OT
\nSustainability
\nNew product innovations
\nAI for industrial<\/p>\n

Security, security, security<\/h2>\n

Protecting industrial operations from cyberthreats is critical and always top of mind. Empowering our industrial customers to digitize and secure operations at the same time has been prevalent in every conversation this year. As it connects all systems and devices, the network is clearly in the best position to enable a defense-in-depth approach. Combining our deep expertise in both industrial networking and cybersecurity, Cisco has empowered the network to secure operations<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Providing visibility at scale<\/strong>: Cisco networking equipment embed our Cisco Cyber Vision<\/a> software to provide visibility into OT asset inventories, vulnerabilities, and behaviors without the need for additional appliances or network resources. The Cisco network enables organizations to assess their OT security posture and monitor cyber risks from internal industrial resources.
\nContaining threats: Segmenting industrial networks to prevent threats from spreading and ensure assets can only communicate with<\/strong> the appropriate resources they need has become much simpler and does not require additional security appliances. The Cisco industrial network benefits from
Cisco ISE and Cyber Vision working together<\/a> to enforce ISA\/IEC-62443 zones and conduits.
\nControlling secure remote access<\/strong>: Remote access to OT assets is key to run operations. Granting access to external actors can introduce major risks that need to be controlled. With
Cisco Secure Equipment Access<\/a> (SEA), Cisco has brought the zero-trust network access (ZTNA) architecture to industrial operations to eliminate the drawbacks of VPN solutions and risks of unmanaged cellular gateways. And because it\u2019s built into Cisco industrial switches and routers, it\u2019s very simple to deploy at scale. Cisco SEA has been recognized in CRN 2023 Tech Innovators Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Simplify IT for industrial networks<\/h2>\n

Simplification is a key theme at Cisco; deliver simplicity and scale for IT and operations. We bring simplicity and scale by delivering OT services such as Cyber Vision and Secure Equipment Access from the cloud on the industrial network. Our cloud software services for OT deliver on our vision of Cisco Cloud Networking to provide a simple and consistent experience across all Cisco platforms. For example, single sign-on (SSO) makes it easier to gain access and navigate across Cisco networking platforms. Common user interface and authentication methods bring greater consistency and ease of use for customers to learn and use Cisco networking platforms securely.<\/p>\n

Sustainability<\/h2>\n

Sustainability is a key business priority across industries, and digitization is empowering organizations to achieve their goals. The path to a more sustainable future requires reliable connectivity and visibility into data for better control and management of highly distributed industrial assets. To accelerate the transition to clean energy, the grid operators require updated digital infrastructure. We are helping our customers connect clean energy sources such as wind and solar farms and digitize the grid to accelerate the energy transition. See how we helped ScottishPower Renewables<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New product innovations<\/h2>\n

Cisco\u2019s commitment to innovation consistently keeps us focused on what\u2019s ahead for industrial networking. We announced innovations to bring more enterprise grade capabilities to the industrial edge.<\/p>\n

Cloud-delivered OT services to secure industrial networks at scale:\u00a0<\/strong>Our industrial customers frequently tell us they often lack skilled resources to secure operations at scale. They need solutions they can easily deploy and operate, especially in the case of highly distributed sites such as roadways or renewable energy production. In 2023, Cisco has made Cyber Vision available as a cloud-based service to help easily gain visibility on OT asset inventories and their security posture. Cisco Secure Equipment Access simplifies managing remote access by centralizing policy configuration and enforcement in a cloud-based service that OT administrators can use.<\/p>\n

Expanding network connectivity choices for industrial use cases:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our new Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series<\/a> switches provide customers secure and faster connectivity for space-constrained use cases.
\nConnect most critical moving machines and vehicles with Cisco\u2019s first dedicated wireless client, the
Cisco Catalyst IW9165E Rugged Access Point and Wireless Client<\/a>, which comes in a compact form factor for easy integration with AGVs, AMRs and more.
\nConnect buildings and attach remote devices and moving assets to your network using our secure, ultra-reliable wireless backhaul that is easy to deploy, with the new
Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point.<\/a><\/p>\n

Bottomline, we are helping our customers leverage the industrial network as a platform for innovation to ensure secure operations and unlock more value by enabling access to operational devices and data.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just what\u2019s ahead but we also looked back at what we\u2019ve achieved. We celebrated a key milestone with 25 years of industrial switching<\/a> anniversary.<\/p>\n

Industrial AI<\/h2>\n

The AI topic is top of mind for the industrial customer. Industrial AI can unlock remarkable value for organizations and is seen as a key enabler for improving efficiency, reducing costs, enhancing security etc. It can help further enhance IT and OT collaboration. Now industrial AI models require large amounts of industrial data to train its algorithms. Also, once the model is trained, collection and transmission of data needs reliable, secure, high bandwidth, low latency connectivity. Hence for it to work effectively, you need a network that is ready for these demands. Cisco is helping organizations enable their AI use cases at scale by providing best of breed network and security.<\/p>\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll take a look back at the key topics and trends that defined the industrial IoT journey in 2023. Security, security, security Theme of simplify IT for OT Sustainability New product innovations AI for industrial Security, security, security Protecting industrial operations from cyberthreats is critical and always top of mind. Empowering our industrial customers to digitize and secure operations at the same time has been prevalent in every conversation this year. As it connects all systems and devices, the network is clearly in the best position to enable a defense-in-depth approach. Combining our deep expertise in both industrial networking and cybersecurity, Cisco has empowered the network to secure operations: Providing visibility at scale: Cisco networking equipment embed our Cisco Cyber Vision software to provide visibility into OT asset inventories, vulnerabilities, and behaviors without the need for additional appliances or network resources. The Cisco network enables organizations to assess their OT security posture and monitor cyber risks from internal industrial resources. Containing threats: Segmenting industrial networks to prevent threats from spreading and ensure assets can only communicate with the appropriate resources they need has become much simpler and does not require additional security appliances. The Cisco industrial network benefits from Cisco ISE and Cyber Vision working together to enforce ISA\/IEC-62443 zones and conduits. Controlling secure remote access: Remote access to OT assets is key to run operations. Granting access to external actors can introduce major risks that need to be controlled. With Cisco Secure Equipment Access (SEA), Cisco has brought the zero-trust network access (ZTNA) architecture to industrial operations to eliminate the drawbacks of VPN solutions and risks of unmanaged cellular gateways. And because it\u2019s built into Cisco industrial switches and routers, it\u2019s very simple to deploy at scale. Cisco SEA has been recognized in CRN 2023 Tech Innovators Awards. Simplify IT for industrial networks Simplification is a key theme at Cisco; deliver simplicity and scale for IT and operations. We bring simplicity and scale by delivering OT services such as Cyber Vision and Secure Equipment Access from the cloud on the industrial network. Our cloud software services for OT deliver on our vision of Cisco Cloud Networking to provide a simple and consistent experience across all Cisco platforms. For example, single sign-on (SSO) makes it easier to gain access and navigate across Cisco networking platforms. Common user interface and authentication methods bring greater consistency and ease of use for customers to learn and use Cisco networking platforms securely. Sustainability Sustainability is a key business priority across industries, and digitization is empowering organizations to achieve their goals. The path to a more sustainable future requires reliable connectivity and visibility into data for better control and management of highly distributed industrial assets. To accelerate the transition to clean energy, the grid operators require updated digital infrastructure. We are helping our customers connect clean energy sources such as wind and solar farms and digitize the grid to accelerate the energy transition. See how we helped ScottishPower Renewables. New product innovations Cisco\u2019s commitment to innovation consistently keeps us focused on what\u2019s ahead for industrial networking. We announced innovations to bring more enterprise grade capabilities to the industrial edge. Cloud-delivered OT services to secure industrial networks at scale:\u00a0Our industrial customers frequently tell us they often lack skilled resources to secure operations at scale. They need solutions they can easily deploy and operate, especially in the case of highly distributed sites such as roadways or renewable energy production. In 2023, Cisco has made Cyber Vision available as a cloud-based service to help easily gain visibility on OT asset inventories and their security posture. Cisco Secure Equipment Access simplifies managing remote access by centralizing policy configuration and enforcement in a cloud-based service that OT administrators can use. Expanding network connectivity choices for industrial use cases: Our new Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series switches provide customers secure and faster connectivity for space-constrained use cases. Connect most critical moving machines and vehicles with Cisco\u2019s first dedicated wireless client, the Cisco Catalyst IW9165E Rugged Access Point and Wireless Client, which comes in a compact form factor for easy integration with AGVs, AMRs and more. Connect buildings and attach remote devices and moving assets to your network using our secure, ultra-reliable wireless backhaul that is easy to deploy, with the new Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point. Bottomline, we are helping our customers leverage the industrial network as a platform for innovation to ensure secure operations and unlock more value by enabling access to operational devices and data. It\u2019s not just what\u2019s ahead but we also looked back at what we\u2019ve achieved. We celebrated a key milestone with 25 years of industrial switching anniversary. Industrial AI The AI topic is top of mind for the industrial customer. Industrial AI can unlock remarkable value for organizations and is seen as a key enabler for improving efficiency, reducing costs, enhancing security etc. It can help further enhance IT and OT collaboration. Now industrial AI models require large amounts of industrial data to train its algorithms. Also, once the model is trained, collection and transmission of data needs reliable, secure, high bandwidth, low latency connectivity. Hence for it to work effectively, you need a network that is ready for these demands. Cisco is helping organizations enable their AI use cases at scale by providing best of breed network and security.
