Cisco Cyber Vision
Cisco Cyber Vision gives IT and OT teams real-time visibility into every device, communication, and vulnerability across your industrial control systems—so you can secure operations without disrupting production.
As industrial networks converge with IT and cloud infrastructure, your operational technology (OT) environments face growing cyber threats. Cisco Cyber Vision is purpose-built for industrial organizations to discover every asset on their OT network, understand their security posture, detect threats in real time, and feed that intelligence into your existing IT security tools—all without disrupting production or requiring dedicated security appliances.
Traditional IT security tools weren’t designed for industrial environments. Cyber Vision bridges that gap by building OT visibility directly into your Cisco network infrastructure, giving you the intelligence you need to protect critical operations at scale.
Cyber Vision uses passive and active discovery to identify every PLC, HMI, sensor, and controller on your network—including vendor, firmware version, serial number, and communication patterns—without disrupting operations.
Risk scores for every device and network segment highlight the most critical vulnerabilities and exposures, with actionable guidance on how to reduce risk—so you know exactly where to focus first.
Feed your SIEM, SOAR, XDR, and firewall platforms with rich OT context—asset details, communication flows, and security events—so your SOC can manage IT and OT threats from a single pane of glass.
Cyber Vision embeds lightweight sensors directly into Cisco industrial switches and routers. There are no dedicated appliances to install, no out-of-band SPAN networks to build, and no impact on production traffic—just deploy and gain immediate visibility.
Sensors run inside Cisco Catalyst IE3300, IE3400, IR1100, IR8300, and Catalyst 9300/9400 switches—no separate hardware needed. They decode industrial protocols at the edge and send only lightweight metadata to the Cyber Vision Center.
Cyber Vision decodes over 180 industrial protocols including Modbus, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, OPC UA, BACnet, and more—extracting device details, variable values, and communication patterns in real time.
Combines vulnerability tracking, Snort-based intrusion detection powered by Cisco Talos intelligence, and behavioral baselines to catch known exploits, zero-day threats, and abnormal process activity.
Every device and network zone gets an automatic risk score with specific remediation steps—helping you prioritize patches, segment networks, and track compliance improvement over time.
Industrial Security Included
Get Cisco Cyber Vision and Cisco Secure Equipment Access free of charge when you purchase a Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series, Cisco IE3500 Heavy Duty Series, or Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series switch together with a Network Advantage license.
Monitor controller modifications, variable changes, and device status in real time. Troubleshoot production issues faster with detailed operational insights and communication maps—reducing unplanned downtime.
Bring OT assets and events into your existing SIEM, SOAR, and XDR workflows. Correlate IT and OT security events, investigate threats across both domains, and enforce segmentation policies from your central SOC.
Drive IEC 62443 compliance with automated asset inventories, risk scoring, zone/conduit documentation, and audit-ready reports. The Global Center aggregates security posture data across all sites for enterprise-wide governance.
Gain visibility across all your industrial sites from a single console. The Cyber Vision Global Center aggregates data from local deployments, while cloud integration through the Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard extends reach to remote and distributed facilities.
Deploy OT security at scale without dedicated appliances or out-of-band networks. Cyber Vision sensors embed directly into your Cisco switches and routers, adding only 2–5% network overhead while providing comprehensive industrial visibility.
Identify hardware and software vulnerabilities across every industrial asset. Prioritize patching with device-level risk scores and track default password usage, outdated firmware, and unpatched systems across your entire OT environment.
Cloud-Based Visibility
Extend Cyber Vision’s industrial visibility to the cloud. The Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard lets you connect, maintain, and secure industrial assets across distributed operations with the reach and simplicity of a cloud-based solution—ideal for organizations managing remote sites, substations, and facilities at scale.
Cyber Vision feeds rich OT context into your existing security stack—enabling your IT tools to see, understand, and protect industrial assets and communications for the first time.
Integrations
Share discovered hosts, protocols, and communication patterns with Cisco Identity Services Engine via pxGrid. Enforce zero trust micro-segmentation policies across your industrial network based on OT asset groups.
Enrich firewall host information with OT context for laser-focused network segmentation. Terminate unsanctioned sessions and enforce granular access policies based on industrial asset identity.
Pivot from Cyber Vision alerts directly into Cisco XDR for deeper investigation. Correlate OT events with intelligence from Secure Endpoint, Umbrella, Secure Firewall, and Secure Network Analytics.
Pre-built integrations with Splunk, IBM QRadar, and ServiceNow OT Management. CEF syslog output for any SIEM/SOAR platform, plus a full REST API with built-in API Explorer for custom integrations.
Cyber Vision uses a subscription model based on the number of endpoints monitored, available in 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year terms. Choose the tier that matches your security requirements.
Asset inventory, communication mapping, vulnerability detection, device activity reports, and REST API access. Ideal for organizations starting their OT visibility journey.
Everything in Essentials plus risk scoring, Snort IDS with Talos signatures, behavioral baselines, anomaly detection, and advanced integrations with ISE, SecureX, Splunk, and QRadar.
Cyber Vision sensors embed into Cisco Catalyst IE3300, IE3400, IE9300, IR1100, IR8300, Catalyst 9300, and Catalyst 9400 switches and routers, plus the Cisco IC3000 Industrial Compute Gateway and Rockwell Stratix 5800. The Cyber Vision Center runs on Cisco UCS C220 M5 hardware, VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Amazon AWS, or Microsoft Azure.
