At Cisco Live, industrial networking is becoming a critical part of the enterprise AI conversation. In this HyperFRAME Research interview, Steven Dickens speaks with Samuel Pasquier from Cisco about how industrial environments are evolving as AI, security, cloud management, and connected infrastructure become more tightly linked. The discussion explores how Cisco is bringing industrial networking into Cisco Cloud Control, helping customers manage ruggedized industrial switches from the cloud, and using AI-driven operations to simplify how teams manage complex OT environments. Samuel also explains why security remains top of mind for industrial customers, especially as more AI use cases move into manufacturing, machine vision, plant floors, utilities, and the industrial edge. A major focus is Cisco Cyber Vision and the ability to recommend and simulate segmentation policies, helping organizations reduce risk in critical environments without adding unnecessary complexity. The conversation also connects industrial networking to the broader AI infrastructure buildout, including the power, cooling, facilities, and utility networks required to support the next wave of AI data centers. Watch the full conversation for a closer look at how Cisco is positioning industrial networking as a foundation for secure, scalable, AI-ready infrastructure.
