Cybersecurity

Because Digitalization Is Only Intelligent if It Is Secure

Open Automation with WAGO

Encrypt Machine Data Securely with WAGO

Within automation, optimized manufacturing processes is the subject of many new business models in the context of digitalization. Regardless of whether machines are outsourced or communication occurs between multiple production facilities, it is inevitable that machine data no longer remains where it was generated – data leaves the factory along multiple paths.

Optimal Compliance with Security Requirements

Development Processes Certified per IEC 62443-4-1
In many sectors, IT security and cybersecurity are playing a more and more important role. This is especially true of critical infrastructure, failure of which would result in sustained supply bottlenecks or significantly disrupt public safety. Examples include systems in energy, water, wastewater and transport infrastructure industries, along with the financial sector and the food supply chain. In addition to the actual equipment and systems, buildings such as logistics centers and cold storage warehouses also need to be considered.

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.
  • Digitization: Defense-in-depth carries risks.
  • The solution: Data encryption happens in the controller.
