The new Cisco IoT security architecture will Strengthen visibility industrial IoT environments, according to the tech giant.

Cisco is strengthening IoT security with the introduction of a security architecture for industrial IoT.

Launched at Cisco Live EMEA in Barcelona this week, the new IoT security architecture will Strengthen visibility across IT and operational technology (OT) environments, said Cisco’s director of global IoT, Joe Malenfant.

"First, you have to connect things, then, you have to secure them to be able to get that data," Malenfant told CRN. "We're taking something that's designed for security and made it relevant to the operations team."

Cisco's IoT security architecture gives businesses insight into their entire IoT environments, including both their networking and industrial assets in the field or at the edge of the network. The new architecture is powered by Cisco Talos, the firm's security intelligence and research group, which will provide real-time cybersecurity monitoring and anomaly detection, San Jose, Calif.-based Cisco said.

The architecture includes Cisco's industrial IoT network security product called Cyber Vision and its Edge Intelligence data extraction tool. Cisco Cyber Vision is a software-based security solution for the automated discovery of industrial assets and relies on technology from Sentryo, the IoT security startup that Cisco acquired in 2019. Cisco Cyber Vision can analyze traffic from connected assets, create segmentation policies in Cisco ISE and DNA Center to prevent threats from moving around within operational environments.

Also integrated into the architecture is Cisco Edge Intelligence, a new edge computing offering that can simplify data extraction at the edge of the network, said Cisco.

Cisco said that the goal of the IoT security architecture is to remove the complexity of a multi-vendor infrastructure to simplify IoT cybersecurity that can be managed on any of Cisco’s gateways, switches, or routers.

"It's really a holistic IoT security architecture with Cyber Vision at the center of it all and integrated with their robust portfolio on the IT side," Malenfort said. "Digitization is letting companies take what they are doing on the OT side and connect it with the IT side because that network is getting more robust and smarter."

For partners, Cisco Cyber Vision will allow partners to offer new value-added services to their customers, such as security assessments for operational environments, Malenfort said. "There's a huge opportunity for partners in building services around Cyber Vision to integrate IT and OT and make the network even more relevant for their clients," he said.

Partners can also use Cisco Edge Intelligence to help customers extract data, Malenfort said. "Once they secure the data, [partners] can help customers build data flows," he said.

Cisco last January went big with its partners in IoT space. The company rolled out an expanded product line that expanded its networking capabilities to the IoT edge and introduced a brand-new set of resources for partners, including a formal IoT partner program.

Networking vendor Cisco Systems is detailing a new integrated wireless network architecture this week the vendor says will remove the data insecurity typically associated with wireless LANs.

Designed around the company's Self-Defending Network framework, Cisco says having security tightly coupled with the Cisco Secure Wireless Solution design gives organizations the level of protection they need to secure wireless data. Additionally, Cisco claims the solution's architecture delivers the elements businesses need to meet federal regulatory standards, including Sarbanes-Oxley and industry directives such as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standard.

Cisco says the Cisco Secure Wireless Solution, which blends the vendor's WLAN hardware and software with Cisco security solutions--including a network access control appliance, a firewall, intrusion prevention software, an access control server, and secure client software--addresses a full range of security issues, running the gamut from blocking malicious applications and intruders to encrypting data, detecting rogue clients and eliminating rogue access points.

Cisco says the solution also provides the flexibility businesses need to add guest users such as contractors and partners without jeopardizing security.

Having security built-into a WLAN architecture will not only better protect the network but also help cut support costs, says Erik Parker, certified information systems security professional and senior wireless infrastructure analyst for Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. Cisco claims that the ultimate result is WLANS that are just as secure as their wireline counterparts.

ALFRED — Alfred State College architecture students in Design Studio 5 presented comprehensive plans to reimagine the village of Angelica.

Two groups of 15 students worked for eight weeks and presented their concepts and ideas to citizens in Angelica.

The groups looked at a variety of different areas around Angelica including Main Street, Park Circle, Joncy Gorge Park and the Allegany County Fairgrounds. The groups showed concepts for economic enhancement, community beautification, rehabilitation and preservation of historical resources, and introduced new business opportunities that would be beneficial to the residents.

Led by professors William Dean and Matt DiRado the students met with groups from the village to learn more about the village, researched the area, and then put together presentations that included vision boards, a formal presentation of their ideas, and an animated walking tour of the concepts proposed.

“Projects like this supply their students a real-world experience,” commented DiRado. “In eight short weeks, each group worked together to develop plans from what they had learned and seen in Angelica. The students did an excellent job taking what they have learned in the classroom and applying it to a client. Our hope is that the Village will be able to use some of the concepts as they plan for their future.”

Karin Bruton-Winterfeldt was in attendance for the presentation and was impressed.

“From street design, business growth and all the way up to affordable housing, the suggested revitalization of their beautiful village is a hoped-for reachable goal. They were blown away by their professionalism and incredible foresight.” 

The Architecture Department has done similar projects in the past with other villages — Alfred, Andover, Bolivar, Belfast, Belmont, Caneadea and Fillmore.
