Emerson Perimeter Defense Product Provides Network Security for Complex Control Systems
Software and engineering firm Emerson is improving perimeter security for the DeltaV distributed control system (DCS) with its new NextGen Smart Firewall, a control system firewall designed to provide perimeter security for all industries.
Ruggedized construction, high bandwidth, and role-based access provide users with performance as well as granular access control.
Manufacturers need to secure their networks without complexity that would otherwise add administrative overhead to already busy operations teams. Emerson’s NextGen Smart Firewall features a user-friendly HTML5 web-based user interface, easy to understand setup menus, and pre-defined DeltaV application rules.
The ease of use helps DeltaV administrators and control engineers with no security or information technology (IT) expertise create secure connections for DeltaV applications.
Gigabit connections support improved performance for applications that require higher bandwidth. Ruggedized construction is well suited for harsh manufacturing environments.
