Challenge
65% of planners prioritize hybrid; 72% prefer flexible venues; 93% rate sustainability as critical. Ad-hoc AV and inconsistent connectivity across rooms can limit premium pricing opportunities, and event-booking contact centers often operate across cloud and on-premises systems, resulting in limited end-to-end visibility.
Cisco Solution
Webex Suite, Webex Devices, and Room Navigator help standardize collaboration experiences across meeting and event spaces. Wi-Fi 7 plus Meraki QoS capabilities support tiered bandwidth packages. Cisco Spaces provides real-time occupancy insights, while ThousandEyes and Splunk Observability provided visibilities during events. Webex Contact Center and Splunk Remote Contact Center Analytics help support booking, concierge, and guest service operations.
Business Impact
Meetings and events (M&E) RevPAS increase through premium hybrid packages and more consistent event delivery. Group cancellations decline when venues can reliably support hybrid experiences. For a median upscale resort, the combined impact can represent seven figures in annual value
Challenge
Deploying smart, connected corridors, autonomous traffic controls, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems drastically expands municipal attack surfaces, creating critical vulnerabilities across transportation networks.
Navigating the Modern Attack Surface
-
AI-Driven Exploits
Over 16% of breaches now leverage AI to automate social engineering and accelerate the exploitation of legacy IT/OT systems(1).
-
IT/OT Convergence
Merging operational and digital networks can expose critical systems to threats such as V2X spoofing, EV grid manipulation, and sensor tampering.
-
Pervasive Blind Spots
Gaps in OT asset visibility can make it difficult for operators to identify connected OT hardware, track firmware compliance, and enforce network micro-segmentation.
Cisco Solution
The unified Cisco + Splunk architecture bridges IT and OT security, directly mitigating the primary cyber-risks facing modern roadway networks.
-
Zero-Trust Network Segmentation
Enforces automated micro-segmentation across connected field assets, isolating localized breaches to prevent network-wide traffic or power disruptions.
-
Continuous OT Visibility and Compliance
Uses edge-level deep packet inspection through Cisco Cyber Vision to continuously identify assets, monitor firmware health, and enforce policy compliance.
-
Unified Intelligence and Automated Remediation
Integrates Cisco edge telematics with Splunk’s AI-driven SIEM to easily and instantly detect anomalies such as V2X spoofing and initiate automated containment.
Impact
Eliminate critical operational blind spots, harden industrial edge networks against sophisticated cyber-attacks, and maintain continuous service availability without expanding administrative overhead.
-
100%(3) assets visibility
-
99%(3) reduction in attack propagation
-
50%(2) reduction in incident MTTR
-
60% to 80% reduction in truck rolls to address incidents
