Cisco Umbrella protects the devices that power your business
Manufacturers need easy-to-use, cost-effective solutions that help them manage cybersecurity.
Industry 4.0 is being realized through smart factories, the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud manufacturing (CMfg) and connected supply chains. Embracing Industry 4.0 comes with a cost – a larger attack surface. Attacks on supply chains and headlines about security breaches have made it clear to manufacturers of all sizes that they are vulnerable, and no one is safe from cyber attackers.
Cisco Umbrella provides multiple security functions for manufacturers, including DNS layer protection, secure web gateway, firewall, and cloud access security broker (CASB) functionality.
As a cloud-delivered suite of services, Umbrella serves as the foundation of modern security and networking architecture — including security service edge (SSE) and secure access service edge (SASE) — enabling protection at every step of any manufacturing journey.
Building security resilience for manufacturing
As part of IoT and data utilization amid the transition toward smart factories, we also have production equipment and sensors transmitting operating status data to other systems and services via the Internet. Using Cisco Umbrella, we can monitor the devices to see if they are transmitting data to correct destinations and check for unauthorized activities to minimize the risk of information leakage from the devices.
