2. To improve the management of vulnerability Using a score of risks calculated by cyber vision for preliminary ariritization of actions and areas of your industrial infrastructure to ensure the first.
3. Minimize the risk of suppliers and service providers. Use cyber vision to identify unchanged gates at a distance and create a plan that is to replace the remote access for OT zero, such as Cisco Secure Equipment Access (SEA).
4. Prevent and minimize the impact of incidents Implementing the zone segmentation according to the recommendations of the ISA/IEC-62443 industrial security standard. Working with a range of business to create virtual segments in cyber vision by grouping assets. This information is automatically used by Cisco ISSE and/or Cisco Secure Firewalls useless to control zero confidence access in the industrial network.
5. Make sure you can detect and report incidents. Cyber ​​vision can detect the intrusion, harmful activities and abnomal behavior in the industrial network. All these events may be the feeling that they are right to be right with Cisco Secure Firewall and other security tools.
