Network and Security controls

Cisco strengthens integrated IT/OT network and security controls


A recent report from IDC went even further, stating that 50% of OT assets are more than 10 years old, and their security posture needs to be assessed. “Most OT networks remain unsegmented, leaving critical assets exposed and increasing the likelihood of lateral movement during attacks. Adaptive security policies and real-time segmentation are common in IT. These solutions can help minimize risks in OT without disrupting operations if they are integrated with OT visibility products,” wrote IDC’s Romain Fouchereau, senior research manager, European security.

“Managing OT security in isolation is no longer viable. Even when building a dedicated security operations center (SOC) for OT, effective threat detection requires telemetry from both the IT and OT domains,” Fouchereau wrote. “Unified threat detection enables organizations to correlate events across all domains and detect patterns and advanced threats that could otherwise go unnoticed. Detecting and responding to modern threats requires best-in-class IT security tools for each task of the security workflow. These tools need visibility and context to the industrial process.”

Cisco is not alone in its efforts to meld IT and OT networking and security. Networking competitors such as HPE/Juniper and Extreme have integration plans. Security vendors such as Palo Alto, Fortinet and others have integration capabilities as well.

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...

Multi-Modal Data

Multi-Task Federated Split Learning Across Multi-Modal Data with Privacy Preservation With the advancement of federated learning (FL), there is a growing demand for schemes that support multi-task learning on multi-modal data while ensuring robust privacy protection, especially in applications like intelligent connected vehicles. Traditional FL schemes often struggle with the complexities introduced by multi-modal data and diverse task requirements, such as increased communication overhead and computational burdens. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving scheme for multi-task federated split learning across multi-modal data (MTFSLaMM). Our approach leverages the principles of split learning to partition models between clients and servers, employing a modular design that reduces computational demands on resource-constrained clients. To ensure data privacy, we integrate differential privacy to protect intermediate data and employ homomorphic encryption to safeguard client m...

 How Network Polarization Shapes Our Politics! Network polarization amplifies political divisions by clustering like-minded individuals into echo chambers, where opposing views are rarely encountered. This reinforces biases, reduces dialogue, and deepens ideological rifts. Social media algorithms further intensify this divide, shaping public opinion and influencing political behavior in increasingly polarized and fragmented societies. Network polarization refers to the phenomenon where social networks—both offline and online—become ideologically homogenous, clustering individuals with similar political beliefs together. This segregation leads to the formation of echo chambers , where people are primarily exposed to information that reinforces their existing views and are shielded from opposing perspectives. In political contexts, such polarization has profound consequences: Reinforcement of Biases : When individuals only interact with like-minded peers, their existing beliefs bec...
