SecureGUARD FWAF1000

The availability and security of production plants is of great importance in the process industry. Process control systems such as SIMATIC PCS 7 must therefore have comprehensive protection against unauthorized access from the Office network or from the Internet.

The products in the SecureGUARD Automation Firewall Appliance series protect the access points to the networks in the production environment (Process Control Network) and restrict data traffic to the requirements of process automation. Whatever the plant configuration and plant size, they can be used as:

• Access point firewalls for small plants and secure remote access
• Three-homed firewall for small to medium-sized plants with minimal perimeter network
• Front and back firewall for maximum protection in larger plants with extensive perimeter network

An optimized control basis is created via the Industrial Wizard of the integrated SecureGUARD Appliance Management for this purpose on the basis of Microsoft's firewall solution (Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010).

Note:

Use of the SecureGUARD Automation Firewall Appliance series is independent of the version of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system on which the process control installation is based.
