Cisco IND provides operations teams with an easily integrated system for user-friendly network monitoring. It enables OT teams to see a full view of their network topology so they better understand what’s normal and what is cause for concern.
Users of Cisco IND gain full visibility and control of the industrial Ethernet infrastructure in the context of connected devices and network infrastructure. Cisco IND can automatically discover devices that use common industrial protocols such as CIP and PROFINET to enable a dynamic, integrated view of connected devices and network infrastructure.
As OT workers go about their day and manage asset connectivity, Cisco IND interfaces with Cisco ISE. OT staff can input their intent—such as connecting a device to a remote vendor—and Cisco ISE dynamically applies the correct security policies for the scenario, based on previous IT policy definition. It’s all enabled by Cisco Platform Exchange Grid (pxGrid), our open and scalable platform that enables multiple security solutions to seamlessly share data and work together.
