As cyber attacks on industrial environments increase in frequency and complexity, protecting your IoT/OT networks has become critical. Are you taking the right measures? Take this questionnaire to determine your profile based on eight IoT/OT security practices your peers are implementing: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/internet-of-things/iot-security/profile-builder.html 

Industrial networks and critical infrastructures have become the new playground for cyber criminals. The ISA/IEC-62443 set of standards gives IT and OT teams common ground to work together in securing industrial infrastructures. In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
 • What makes the ISA/IEC 62443 standard so important?
 • What security capabilities are required by the standard?
 • What technical solutions are needed to comply?
 • What does the journey to compliance look like?

Featured Speakers:
 • Maik Seewald, Member of IEC and ISA99 industrial security workgroups, and Senior Technical Lead, Industrial IoT, Cisco
 • Andrew McPhee, Cybersecurity Solutions Manager, Cisco IoT

What is ISA/IEC-62443-3-3 and how to comply?

The software opportunity in operations
Digital twins. AI analytics. Control systems virtualization. Operations teams are now starting to build these new software capabilities in their industrial environments, hoping to raise product quality, improve operational efficiencies, reduce downtimes, and lower costs, among other benefits.

Substation network operators are facing many challenges in the operational landscape. One of these is the increasing complexity of balancing the wide array of new power generation assets (such as solar and wind) with an equally complex consumption model (such as increase in electric vehicle charging). This real-time balancing act requires operators to connect more assets for increased visibility and control.

As substations are becoming more complex, greater demands are being placed on the network and connectivity.

Join us to find out how to address these challenges, with Cisco’s next-generation routing solutions!

Get Your Industrial Network Ready For Secure Operations

In a manufacturing facility, there are blind spots across assets and facilities which aren't normally covered by Industrial Automation Systems. Typical blind spots might relate to machine health, tank level, temperature or humidity levels, etc. 

With increasing supply chain pressures and the need to improve sustainability, operations teams are under increasing pressure to optimize their processes, reduce cost and maximize asset uptime. This requires specialized tools and applications that give them the control and visibility needed to meet these demands. IT teams need to be confident that any new solutions align with policies including security and access controls. Cisco’s industrial sensor solutions are designed to provide the digital insights necessary to help operations teams to meet these business needs, while aligning with IT policies.  
  
In this session, you will learn how Cisco’s industrial sensor solution, Industrial Asset Vision:  
- Simplifies asset and facility monitoring and preventative maintenance in industrial outdoor and indoor environments 
- Gives centralized visibility of your data  
- Helps you to monitor remote facilities easily and securely.

Optimize Your Preventative Maintenance Processes with Cisco IoT Sensor Solutions

Environmental sustainability is a major global concern for the 21st century. Government intervention is increasing around the world through international agreements, national policies, regulatory mandates, and government purchasing. In the manufacturing industry, customers, shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders are exerting tremendous pressure for sustainability. 

More than just mandates, policy, and pressures, sustainable manufacturing makes perfect business sense. Business practices with sustainability embedded as a core strategy create long-term shareholder value, reduce costs, increase innovation, and give businesses a competitive advantage. 

At Cisco, we are committed to Powering an Inclusive Future for All by leveraging technology and inspiring people to make a positive impact in their communities and on the planet. In this seminar, we will discuss how Cisco technologies are enabling our manufacturing customers to reach their critical sustainability goals.

Sustainable manufacturing – it's more than just turning out the lights

Historically, wireless technology in manufacturing has been limited to less-than-critical sensing applications and connecting IT devices. With rapid digitization of operations and ever-more-mobile applications, the need for high-throughput, scalable, reliable, broad wireless connectivity is rising. Modern wireless technologies have evolved significantly and have radically increased the options for connecting devices and applications in industrial zones. Manufacturers must now decide which technology or technologies to invest in. It is important that they choose the technology best suited for their use case without making compromises on IP networking, cybersecurity, automation, and performance.
Join our experts for a discussion of wireless connectivity technologies that have evolved to support bandwidth-intensive worker productivity applications, reliable mobility for critical assets, and increased data collection from all areas of the plant. All of which significantly boost operational efficiencies and production uptime. We will cover:
