This white paper explains how modern industrial network equipment can embed a full range of advanced security applications to build a converged architecture that will bring simplicity, ease of deployment, and cost savings and help scale industrial security to protect. The Cisco® Industrial Automation solution and relevant product technologies are an essential foundation to securely connect and digitize industrial and production environments to achieve these significantly improved business operation outcomes. Let's take a look at the advantages that make industrial switches essential in today's connected automation world. Industrial environments are notorious for harsh conditions, from extreme temperatures to vibration and electromagnetic interference. Cyber-security for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) such as SCADA systems has been an important avenue of research over the last couple of decades. The need for secure ICS systems stems from several factors - legacy protocols, limited segmentation between operational technology (OT) and information. KEYWORDS: Industrial Ethernet Switches, Cybersecurity, Network and Security Convergence Industrial Ethernet switch buyers must navigate a complex landscape of technical features, certifications, and market dynamics. Escalating cyber threats have recently made cybersecurity and network manageability.
