Industrial IoT security

Tough security for tough environments

Your operational technology (OT), industrial control systems (ICS), and cyber physical systems (CPS) need security that doesn’t mess around. Protect what matters most and maintain production uptime with Cisco Industrial Threat Defense.

Security for critical infrastructures and industrial operations

From ICS/OT visibility to zero trust to a converged IT/OT security strategy, find solutions that meet you right where you are.


Uncover your industrial cybersecurity posture

Easily inventory your OT assets and their behaviors with solutions that use your network as a sensor to provide full visibility at scale—and the insights you need to reduce the attack surface.

Control and secure remote access

With easy-to-use, cloud-delivered secure remote access built into our network equipment, you avoid shadow IT—and your OT teams can manage industrial assets from anywhere.

Protect operations

Enforce ISA/IEC62443 zones and conduits and prevent threats from spreading. Use your network as the enforcer to easily implement a zero-trust microsegmentation strategy.

Find and block threats across IT and OT

With OT insights in your IT security tools, you can detect, investigate, and resolve threats across IT and OT—all from a single console, with Cisco XDR.
