Based on several of the company’s recent announcements, behavioral analysis will be key. At its event in Barcelona, Cisco rolled out a security architecture for industrial internet of things clients that included new software branded as Cisco Cyber Vision. When combined with the firm’s Edge Intelligence software, the goal is to provide anomaly detection and real-time monitoring in IIoT environments. Cisco’s security architecture is built to understand what normal traffic in an industrial environment should look like and which behaviors should be categorized as suspicious. If a server suddenly starts communicating with a computer in another country, machine intelligence will trigger an alert. “We just have to invent new ways of detecting,” Keanini said. “Direct inspection is a thing of the past; we just can’t depend on it anymore. We have to have tools of inference, and it’s given rise to a lot of innovation in behavioral science.” Integration of Stealthwatch Cisco has been applying behavioral analysis in its use of another key product: Stealthwatch. Using machine learning and behavioral modeling, Stealthwatch provides a visibility and network traffic analytics solution for threat detection and response. In November, Cisco integrated Stealthwatch across its security portfolio and included new cloud protection capabilities for the internet gateway. Device behavior matters and Cisco is clearly targeting this area for its customers, including one unnamed financial institution. “We were able to identify rogue DNS servers, unsecured telnet going on, SQL injections, all within 30 minutes of us coming in there and taking a look,” recalled Kyle Michael Winters, technical marketing engineer of CXTechnology & Transformation Group at Cisco, during his interview with theCUBE. “We’re able to profile different devices based on the nature of their behavior.” Here’s the interview with Winters, along with Ken O’Reilly, Cisco’s director of customer experience:
