Network security to protect industrial facilities

Cyber security is an issue that should be on the agenda of every business right now. With "Defense in Depth" as a comprehensive protection strategy, Siemens provides responses in the form of defense at all levels based on the Industrial Security Standard IEC 62443. Part of the Industrial Security concept is network security to protect automation networks from unauthorized access. This includes controlling all interfaces, such as those between office and facility networks, or controlling remote access to the Internet, and can be accomplished by using firewalls or by creating a suitably protected secure zone. Based on professional planning, design and implementation of existing strong network infrastructures, it is possible to create comprehensive yet secure OT networks.

SCALANCE S Industrial Security Devices support the "Defense In Depth" industrial security concept as part of network security. They protect automation networks and connect seamlessly to the security structures of the Office and IT world.
