Things to expand their security management products, Cisco plans to acquire Sentryo, this is a French-based company, Sentryo things for the industry to provide real-time threat detection and anomaly detection.
Sentryo founded in 2014, products include ICS CyberVision (for asset inventory, network monitoring and threat intelligence platform) and CyberVision network boundary sensor, which is used to analyze network traffic.

[Why risk so high]"We Cisco IOx application framework will Sentryo edge sensor and our industry network hardware combined," Rob Salvagno Cisco business development and vice president of Cisco's investment, wrote in a blog about the planned acquisition of.
"We believe the connection is the foundation of the Internet of Things project, by releasing the power of the network, we can greatly improve the efficiency of operations and identify new business opportunities. With Sentryo join, Cisco can control engineer for the system to provide a more in-depth visibility of assets, in order to optimize the system to detect anomalies and to protect their networks. "
Gartner's system of Sentryo wrote: "ICS CyberVision products with OT way all users can understand their customers to provide visibility into the network OT, not just IT technicians with more and more hackers and regulators. focus on industrial control systems, an organization of OT have complete visibility is essential thing. many of the network OT position not only geographically dispersed, but also very complex, made up of thousands of components. "
Nandini Natarajan Frost & Sullivan's industry analysts said, Sentryo of ICS CyberVision allows businesses to ensure continuity, dynamic flexibility and security of its industrial operations, and thus prevent possible network attacks. "It will use the label in the form of a unique 'OT universal language' to describe assets and automatic communication processes to plain text description of each asset in doing what .ICS CyberVision allows anyone to view the categories at once a piece of equipment and behavior; it uses artificial intelligence algorithms provide a lot of different analytical views, to allow users insight into a typical industrial control systems can generate large data .Sentryo how you can easily view important or relevant information. "
Natarajan said addition, Sentryo platform using deep packet inspection (DPI) to extract information from the data communication between the bag industrial equipment. DPI engine deployed computing infrastructure by an edge, it can run, may be run on a network device already installed on Sentryo sensor device. Thus, Sentryo visibility and can be fitted into the network security features in industrial networks, instead of deploying band monitoring network.
Sentryo technology will expand Cisco's overall plan things together online. In January this year, Cisco introduced a set of switches, software, development tools and blueprints, these things will be used to things, intent-based networked industrial network, the traditional information security, traditional information monitoring, application development support integration .
This new platform can be managed by Cisco's DNA center to allow customers to link their networking, industrial control networks and their business IT worlds together.
DNA Center is the central management tool for Cisco's corporate network, with automation, ensure that the settings, structural configuration, policy-based segmentation function. It is also the core of the company IBN plans for the initiative to provide customers with dynamic automation network and the ability to implement policy changes and to ensure the delivery of data in the process. IoT Field Network Director is to manage Cisco industrial, multi-service network router connected to the grid and terminal software.
Liz Centoni, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco's Internet of Things business unit, said the company hopes Sentryo technology can help in many ways things customers:
DPI support passive network function, this IOT and OT for discovering devices, and communication is established between the device and the system mode. Sentryo sensors can be carried out in the framework of Cisco's IOx local deployment, and can be built into these devices are running industrial networks, rather than adding additional hardware.
With the establishment of device identification and communication mode, Cisco will be the center of DNA and Identity Services Engine (ISE) integrated together, so that customers can easily define segmentation strategy. This integration will enable the OT team to take advantage of the expertise of IT security team to protect their environment, operational processes will not pose a risk.
Because of these things the lack of modern equipment and safety features embedded software, network segmentation will become a key technology allows devices to communicate to the operation of the legal system, and to reduce the risk as we see WannaCry and Norsk Hydro as network security incidents.
According to Crunchbase it said, Sentryo the estimated annual revenue of $ 3.5 million, and competition Cymmetria, Team8 and Indegy most intense. The acquisition is expected to be in the first quarter of Cisco's fiscal year 2020 - completed before the end - October 26, 2019. Cisco did not disclose detailed financial details of the acquisition.
Sentryo is Cisco's second acquisition this year. Cisco acquired in January Singularity's network analysis techniques. In 2018, Cisco acquired six companies included Duo security software, including.
