Industrial Ethernet is spreading as a standard not only across companies, but across entire supply chains. Creating highly integrated supply chains increasingly entails the networking of cross-company IT systems. This means that more and more network production systems must be effectively protected against attacks from both inside and outside. In the process, the investment in cross-network security has truly become an investment in successful business performance.
Innominate mGuard solution for industrial use
The mGuard Industrial Network Security concept was specially developed for use in the industrial environment. It combines the attributes of a stateful inspection firewall, which monitors incoming and outgoing data packets based on pre-defined rules, with the possibility of secure and confidential communication via virtual private network (VPN) connections. An integration of the mGuard security appliances in industrial systems is possible, as is the retroactive protection of sub-networks, production cells or individual automation units.
Central management with the Innominate Device Manager (IDM)
With the Innominate Device Manager (IDM), a central management system is now available for the efficient roll-out of mGuard firewall appliances and the assignment of user rights. This intuitive and easy-to-use management software enables secure production without high levels of administrational expense and effort.
