Tofino Security Appliance Overview

Tofino Security Appliance

Creates Plug-n-Protect™ zones of security

  • Pre-emptive threat detection
  • Threat termination
  • Threat reporting

By using Tofino Security Appliances recommended ANSI / ISA 99 Zone Level Security can be reached.

 

Protect your SCADA and industrial control systems against network problems and cyber threats

Traditional IT-focused security systems are unsuitable for industrial networks

  • The electrical, environmental and operational requirements of SCADA and process control systems make them unsuited for IT security solutions
  • As a result, many critical systems operate without protection from accidental events such as an infected USB storage device or a mis-configured network device, much less a malicious cyber-attack

The Plug-in-Protect Tofino Security Appliance is designed with the environments, staff skills and needs of industry in mind

  • Ideal for controls professionals, the Tofino Security Appliance is designed to be installed in a live network with no pre-configuration, no network changes and no plant downtime
  • It is a simple and cost-effective way to create zones of security− tailored protection for groups of PLCs, DCS, RTUs, IEDs and HMIs − as recommended by ANSI/ISA99, NERC CIP and IEC Standards
  • Tofino protects better and is easier to install than IT firewalls and other security products

Saves you money through:

  • Improved system reliability and stability
  • Reduced down time and production losses
  • Lower maintenance costs
  • Simplified regulatory and security standards compliance

Unique capabilities

  • Plug-n-Protect™ installation requires no pre-configuration, no network changes and no disruption to the control system
  • Simple configuration over the network using the Tofino Central Management Platform (CMP) software
  • Unique ‘Test’ mode allows firewall and VPN testing with no risk to your operation
  • Compatible with all DCS, PLC, SCADA, networking and software products
  • Rugged hardware design for years of reliable service

Typical applications

  • Secure networks with security zones as per NERC CIP, ANSI/ISA99 and IEC standards
  • Protect connections to partner networks and wireless networks
  • Improve SCADA and process control network reliability and performance
