Open Automation with WAGO
Are openness and security mutually exclusive?
Quite the contrary – see for yourself!
Digitalization makes your machine, system and building data available anywhere in the world. To ensure the integrity of your information during Web attacks and Web transfers, it is necessary to protect it.
With our PFC100 and PFC200 Controllers, you’ll always be on the safe side. Learn how the controllers encrypt information directly in the controller and then transmit it to the cloud via IPsec or OpenVPN.
Cybersecurity Made by WAGO
For many years, machine data was only evaluated and used in the manufacturing facility in which it was generated. Thus, the risk of unauthorized data access was relatively low. Use of classic defense-in-depth measures ensured that machine data was well protected.
WAGO’s PFC100 and PFC200 Controllers encrypt information directly in the controller and subsequently transmit the data to the cloud via IPsec or OpenVPN. This ensures that machine data is optimally protected against unauthorized access.
Step-by-step to the solution:
- Previously: Data remained in the manufacturing hall.
- Digitalization: Defense-in-depth carries risks.
- The solution: Data encryption happens in the controller.
White Paper: IT Security in Production Facilities
Cyber attacks on automation systems and critical infrastructure are increasing. How can companies protect effectively against cyber attacks?
Our white paper “IT Security in Production Facilities – An Introduction for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises” has answers. Read about how you can achieve optimal protection of your systems with an integrated approach with “defense in depth.”
The core content of the white paper includes:
- Standards that play a role in the area of IT security
- Ten point plan for protection against cyber attacks
- Requirements on future automation systems
