The Industrial Network Director (IND) is particularly valuable in Operational Technology (OT)
applications due to its ability to improve industrial asset visibility and network troubleshooting. IND
is designed to manage and monitor industrial networks, helping OT professionals gain
comprehensive visibility into their network assets and streamlining the troubleshooting process. This
capability enhances operational efficiency and minimizes downtime in industrial environments.
Reference:
The role of IND in enhancing network management and troubleshooting in OT environments is
highlighted in Cisco’s documentation and marketing materials for IND, which emphasize its benefits
in industrial settings.
