Cisco's vast expertise and robust customer relations position
it as a leading IIoT solutions provider enabling technology
leadership and innovation for both IT and OT departments
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Based on its recent analysis of the global Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT) market, Frost & Sullivan
recognizes Cisco Systems with the 2020 Global Enabling Technology
Leadership Award. With solutions ranging from routers, switches,
and security to wireless, Cisco's products help industrial
organizations deploy IIoT technologies and accelerate their
digitization efforts. The company leverages deep relationships with
IT and OT departments to help customers deploy the right solution
for an optimal total cost of ownership.
"Cisco is an established leader in developing innovative
solutions that address real-world business challenges in the
industrial sector. This focus on innovation keeps it at the
forefront of all IoT deployments and positions it to maintain its
market leadership," noted Dilip
Sarangan, Senior Director of Research, IoT& Digital
Transformation. "Regardless of the application or industrial
environment, Cisco can connect, manage and secure devices across
various networks, providing customers with scale and security in a
hyper-connected world."
Cisco has its own line of edge computing software and
Industrial Asset Vision sensor solutions that enable the
successful deployment of IoT solutions. The Cisco brand helps
partners receive a quicker buy-in from IT and OT customers because
of established relationships and Cisco's position as the market
leader in enabling IIoT solutions. With strategic partnerships with
industrial control system vendors, such as Rockwell Automation and
Schneider Electric, Cisco embeds an impressive set of features in
its IoT products for industry verticals, such as manufacturing,
power and water utilities, oil and gas, mining, roadways, and
public transportation.
The company has a team of solution architects who test and
document reference architectures called Cisco Validated Designs
(CVDs), which help industrial organizations confidently build and
deploy state-of-the-art industrial networks. Cisco's network
equipment can embed the Cyber Vision solution to provide
visibility into which industrial devices are connected and what
they are doing. This unique capability makes it possible to detect
threats at scale and offers users insights into the industrial
operations that are needed to build a unified IT/OT threat
management strategy.
"Cisco's unique ability to provide visibility at scale into
industrial devices and communications with Cyber Vision is key to
enable the converged IT/OT security strategy required for industry
digitization. Cisco's comprehensive and pre-integrated security
portfolio makes it easier to protect industrial operations as they
are being more integrated with IT and cloud applications. Cisco
security products leverage threat intelligence from Cisco
Talos to be always up to date on emerging threats and new
vulnerabilities. Talos also offers an Incident Response service to
help organizations strengthen their security posture, enhance their
plans, and test capabilities," observed Sarangan. "Furthermore,
Cisco has significant expertise in preventing threats and
facilitating regulatory compliance. With a comprehensive line of
products available to meet the requirements of every IT and OT
customer, Cisco is well positioned to provide end-to-end security
for IIoT deployments."
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to a company
that has developed a pioneering technology that enhances current
products and enables the development of new products and
applications. The award recognizes the high market acceptance
potential of the recipient's technology.
