And, today, Google’s Chrome is the way most of us work and play on the…

Flexibility to adapt If you were able to watch sessions at CiscoLive 2021, you would have heard much about the future of work and the return to a trusted work place. This is top of mind for nearly all of us. While the workplace will be for ever changed, it is not a matter of “if” but “when” and “how” we will return to “in-person” collaboration. Returning trust to the workplace will take effort. The…

The COVID-19 pandemic fast-tracked innovation and digital transformation across all industries, but few have been impacted as profoundly as manufacturing. Across the globe, manufacturers were forced to shift their shop-floor operations to meet the development and distribution needs of essential goods and services. Automotive manufacturers, for example, began producing ventilators for hospitals. Others focused on the development of PPE, including facemasks, latex gloves, and hand sanitizer. These short-term experiences will have long-term impacts. The manufacturing…

When I meet with manufacturers, I usually hear some version of the following: “We’re digitizing to get real-time visibility into production and improved operational equipment effectiveness. But now we’re worried about malware interrupting operations. What can we do?” News headlines have erased any doubts about the need for industrial network cybersecurity. The trickier question is how to secure the network without interrupting production and revenue. To provide guidance, we’ve created Cisco Validated Designs for industrial…
