Cisco Industrial Switching helps IT and OT teams keep industrial networks running in places where office switches do not belong. It gives rugged Ethernet access and aggregation for powered devices, fibre links and higher-uptime control traffic, so plant, utility and remote-site cabinets stay connected without fragile workarounds.
It suits production floors, substations, depots and field networks where temperature, vibration, space limits and electrical isolation affect day-to-day support. The range helps maintain local control, reduce cabling complexity and keep cameras, sensors, controllers and access points visible on one hardened switching platform.

Production teams need rugged Ethernet for PLCs, sensors, cameras and HMIs in cabinets and machine-side locations where heat, vibration and limited space rule out office switches. Cisco Industrial Switching helps keep local controls and powered devices connected across harsh plant areas, from compact access points to aggregation for larger production networks.
Utility teams need secure, resilient connectivity for substations, plants and remote assets where distance, isolation and uptime matter. Cisco Industrial Switching supports OT networks with rugged access and fibre-heavy aggregation for telemetry, monitoring, control and camera traffic in demanding environments.
Warehouses, yards and transport hubs rely on always-on connectivity for scanners, cameras, gates, vehicles and operational systems. Cisco Industrial Switching provides hardened switching for dusty, busy sites, helping teams power field devices and link local networks without using unsuitable office equipment.
Telecoms teams need rugged switching for cell sites, roadside cabinets and field locations where conditions are harsh and support access is limited. Cisco Industrial Switching brings secure Ethernet to remote cabinets, helping connect backhaul, monitoring and service equipment with compact, hardened platforms.
Data centre facilities teams need resilient connectivity for building systems, cameras and environmental monitoring in plant-adjacent areas. Cisco Industrial Switching supports these operational networks with rugged access and aggregation where standard enterprise switches are less suitable.
Cisco Secure Network Analytics uses network telemetry and behavioural analysis to identify unusual activity across connected environments. It helps infrastructure and security teams understand traffic between enterprise IT and operational technology systems, uncover suspicious behaviour and identify potential threats more quickly.
Explore Cisco Secure Network AnalyticsCisco XDR correlates telemetry from network, endpoint, cloud and firewall security tools to create a clearer view of potential incidents. It helps security teams prioritise alerts, connect related activity and coordinate investigations when threats could affect industrial infrastructure and the wider enterprise environment.
