Edge-Centric Security for Modern Industrial Infrastructure
|
|
|
As industrial operations become increasingly connected and data-driven, the convergence of IT and OT networks introduces new cybersecurity risks, particularly at the edge. For a leading industrial automation company with widely distributed remote assets, protecting its OT infrastructure was a top priority. The company needed a highly reliable Industrial IoT (IIoT) gateway that could serve as a secure bridge between legacy OT systems and modern digital platforms. This gateway had to withstand harsh environmental conditions while supporting strong cybersecurity protocols, acting as the first line of defense against potential threats targeting critical industrial processes.
|
|
|
The customer, a global industrial automation company specializing in remote monitoring and control systems, required a rugged, secure, and easily deployable IIoT gateway to support its field-deployed data collectors. The solution needed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments, seamlessly integrate with the company’s proprietary BSD-based platform, and offer real-time data processing with secure communication capabilities.
|
|
Main Requirements |
- DIN-rail kit and system image pre-installed for fast deployment
- Custom BIOS with in-band ECC for secure, reliable operation
- Image fine-tuning and compatibility testing with a BSD-based OS
- Anti-tamper labels and adhesive tape for physical protection
- Burn-in testing on every unit to ensure industrial-grade reliability
