Complete setup with or without assistance from IT.Configuration is web-based and requires no software.Isolates the production environment from the office environment.Assured network security preventing unauthorized access and hacks.Configurable stateful inspection firewall with the full scope of functions.With this firewall, the only communications allowed will be the rules you set up using web-based management. With the stateful firewall, protect one or many devices at a time. With the mGuard, prevent cyber threats, attacks, and unauthorized access to your industrial and business networks. Ideal for machine/system commissioning, monitoring, and troubleshooting by parties (i.e., machine builder, contractors, etc.) outside the network.Provides secure remote connectivity between sites via IPsec VPN.Remote connectivity benefits machine builders, providing efficient and economical support for their customers located anywhere in the world. Simple and secure remote connectivity you can use for data acquisition, support, diagnostics, control, and firmware upgrades with your industrial machines. The Phoenix Contact mGuard combines three main functions into a single piece of hardware: This guarantees the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of all information and data transmitted between the service staff and the machines. The mGuard VPN technology uses the IPsec security protocol with strong encryption. This free service allows the user to access and troubleshoot remote locations and customer machines in just a few clicks. Using a standard web browser, service personnel can connect to the Secure Cloud website and, after successfully authenticating, access all relevant client information: locations, operators, service targets (machines), users, as well as their access rights. The mGuard secure cloud is a free, professionally hosted, turnkey remote-services ecosystem for both the machine builder and the plant operator. The mGuard utilizes the Phoenix Contact Secure Cloud, which offers operators and machine builders a highly secure, web-based method for instant remote services to any machine and production plant within a client's network. Phoenix Contact's mGuard is a ☁️cloud-based VPN router that offers built-in security to your industrial network. So now I'm going to switch gears and tell you about a great solution that I've recommended for many clients interested in securely kickstarting their industrial networks. That’s why, as much as it's easier to pretend the threat doesn't exist □, network security is essential when it comes to protecting your business and reputation. No matter how big or small, no entity is off-limits. Worse, hackers are attacking businesses of all sizes worldwide. Hackers can interfere with networks, access monetary and personal information, and even completely lock you out of your network with ransomware, all leading to damaged or lost assets, facility downtime, monetary loss, reputation assassination, and many more jarring realities. This, unfortunately, makes unprotected "smart devices," like smart alarms, TVs, fridges, and industrial components, an easy target for criminals to gain access to your entire network.Īnd when it comes to cybersecurity, the stakes are high. An entire network is only as strong as its weakest entry point. These "smart" devices come fully connected and enabled, but usually without any protection. The benefits of remote networks are all there, but unfortunately, they can extend to cyber criminals too.Īs quickly as industrial networking has advanced, it's sad to say that overall, industrial cybersecurity hasn't caught up to pace.īy and large, organizations are underprepared for the digital convergence of their information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) environments. □ You're connected, but are you protected?
