Industrial cybersecurity needs granular security policies. This requires visibility into what assets are connected. Learn how Cisco and Rockwell are enabling OT visibility into CPwE with Cyber Vision.
Virtualization of control systems in a manufacturing environment can be hugely beneficial provided you build a flexible, scalable, deterministic, and secure network to ease transition to a centralized pool of virtual machines.
Industry leaders discussed the technology paradigm shift in manufacturing, and challenges and innovations around security, wireless technologies, and IT/OT collaboration.
The New Digital Substation handles more sustainable, distributed, and variable energy supplies as well as fluctuating demand all in real time.
OT experts in digital manufacturing borrow tried-and-true practices from IT teams to keep the network high performing, available, and secure.
