Transparent cybersecurity
Fire and water don’t play well together. Firefighters will tap a hydrant to battle a blaze. By the same token, if you want to boil water to evaporation, there’s nothing like a hot flame. As eternal combatants, fire and water thwart one another endlessly.
Much like a waterfall, data cascades through an organization, spilling from the plant floor and pooling where it’s needed, whether that’s the maintenance staff or the executive boardroom. But, as any IT director worth his bandwidth will tell you, that data needs to be protected and the network needs to be secure. Some still argue that multiple firewalls are the only surefire way to ward off cyber-infiltration, but how do you keep the data flowing?
Cyber protectionThe challenge to manufacturers and IT staff is to evaluate and identify the points of vulnerability of the production operations and acquire an understanding of the security tools and technologies available to help minimize the vulnerabilities. Mike Miclot, vice president at Belden’s industrial solutions division and Jeff Cody, industrial Ethernet technical support engineer for Hirschmann, a Belden brand, recommend looking at industrial networking firewalls and routers, security appliances, virtual private networks (VPNs), authentication and encryption devices. When they’re properly applied and installed, these mechanisms and techniques can provide security required for directly connecting either the network or individual production devices to the Internet, corporate or remote offices, remote production facilities, or other areas in which secure industrial network communications are needed.
Firewalls and firewall/routers: Firewalls come in many types, and some are transparent products that operate right out of the box. These plug-and-play devices can be installed anywhere on the network without the need to configure or reconfigure end devices. No changes to network settings (IP addresses, subnet masks and default gateways) are required and networks don’t have to be divided into separate IP subnets. Firewall/routers are combination devices that combine both firewall and routing functionalities. They excel at protecting the industrial network edge — the points of vulnerability where the industrial network meets the corporate network or the Internet. These devices can segment networks, be used as a gateway and enable safe Internet access. Firewall functions include isolating critical devices from threat sources, separating the network into security zones, restricting communications between zones and protecting controllers from known vulnerabilities.
