Facing with the digitization process with\u00a0Phoenix Contact<\/strong>\u00a0is easier thanks to\u00a0cyber security solutions<\/strong>\u00a0for your production processes.<\/p>\n

The basis of\u00a0Smart Factory<\/strong>\u00a0is the interconnection between plants and components. But, do you know how complex is for the operators to be able to safely manage this kind of powerful network infrastructure in a reliable manner? The\u00a0industrial network\u00a0<\/strong>can suffer various types of risks: network outages caused by viruses, sabotage and unauthorized access, data loss or espionage.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to run into problems of this type, it will be essential to\u00a0protect your automation process<\/strong>\u00a0(cyber security).<\/p>\n

Compared to offices industrial networks, the Ethernet standard is not sufficient within a production network. That\u2019s because it does not meet some requirements of this type of environment.<\/p>\n

Here there are some example of missing properties:\u00a0firewall functions<\/strong>\u00a0(it is useful to controll incoming and outgoing traffic by blocking all dangerous or unwanted transmissions),\u00a0deep packet inspection<\/strong>\u00a0for industrial protocols (it refers to the ability of some communication tools to capture data packets and analyze in depth the information inside),\u00a0remote access for assistance and maintenance<\/strong>. Related to this last point, we can tell you that Phoenix Contact uses tools that support a secure remote connection through the use of an encrypted system or with VPN technologies.<\/p>\n

And how can employees safely access the system? Via the\u00a0WLAN 1100 access point module<\/em><\/strong>. This compact module is ideal for applications in machine and plant construction due to its robustness, integrated antennas and stable reception.<\/p>\n

One of Phoenix Contact\u2019s goals is to support companies to minimize downtime and increase productivity. What\u00a0tools<\/strong>\u00a0can be used to achieve this goal?<\/p>\n
