Cisco has introduced a number of new cloud services in its IoT operations dashboard to increase industrial asset visibility and manage assets remotely and securely. At its annual Cisco Live event in Amsterdam, the firm said it had focused on ways to bridge the IT/OT divide, as edge-based IoT sensors are deployed alongside OT equipment in plants and factories and their data is increasingly integrated with backend IT systems.
Its IoT operations dashboard now offers simpler IT/OT convergence, rendering data readouts and recommendations in a single cloud platform, and also scanning for cybersecurity threats across both domains.
