The industrial sector is constantly maintaining and improving networks that span multiple domains and endpoints. From smart grids to nuclear plants or robots to quality control, these systems require complete network visibility to collect data center intelligence and enable communication between equipment.

Government regulations and guidelines from multiple organizations such as the CPSC, ISO, NERC, NIST, IEEE, and DHS make network monitoring strategies a complex undertaking. Large companies need advanced monitoring features to comply with these regulations and suggested frameworks.

The energy sector and the varied industries it supplies rely on critical infrastructures that, if breached, would disrupt power supplies and national business operations, as well as put national security in jeopardy. Energy and manufacturing companies are looking for network systems and processes to deploy that mitigate the risk of attacks and enable fast recovery should they be subject to one.
