Achieving Network Security for Industrial Automation with Moxa's Next-Gen Cybersecurity Solutions

Achieving Network Security for Industrial Automation

In order to optimize operational efficiency for modern industrial automation systems , network convergence between OT and IT is imperative. While streamlining your OT/IT networks unlocks the potential of your industrial systems, it also raises network security concerns. It is a particular concern for those OT systems that used to be air gapped but must still protect network communications without interrupting operations. As a leader in industrial networking for over 30 years, Moxa is committed to developing secure and reliable networking solutions that proactively identify and mitigate cyberthreats in OT environments. To realize this commitment, Moxa strictly follows secure-by-design practices, utilizes distributed OT intrusion prevention systems capabilities, and provides a wide array of rugged networking portfolios to defend industrial applications in depth.

Protect Your Industrial Networks and Critical Assets

You need a secure network infrastructure to ensure continuous industrial operations. Moxa's product portfolio not only provides powerful, secure routers to build solid network segmentation, but also offers industrial cybersecurity solutions to strengthen protection for your industrial networks and critical assets.

Network Segmentation

Establish Zones and Conduits

VLAN: Moxa’s devices help administrators restrict users' access to only the data and parts of the network necessary for them to perform their responsibilities.
Firewalls: Moxa’s devices help administrators establish conduits in the network to only allow permitted traffic and packets to transfer from one zone to another.
NAT: Moxa’s devices help administrators establish a private local zone to hide internal network information from external probing.

Network Security Control

VLAN ID or MAC Addresses: Moxa’s devices only allow users to access data and networks based on their roles.
IP Addresses and Ports: Moxa’s devices only allow permitted traffic on the network.
Deep Packet Inspection: Deep Packet Inspection: Moxa’s devices check the content of each packet payload to ensure only approved content is transmitted on the networks.

Moxa EDR-G9010 Series industrial secure routers allow you to flexibly design a defense-in-depth security architecture by leveraging their all-in-one firewall/NAT/VPN/switch functions. It features OT deep packet inspection technology to provide advanced network protection. Furthermore, with the addition of IDS/IPS, the EDR-G9010 Series is an industrial next-generation firewall, equipped with threat detection and prevention capabilities to further protect critical infrastructure from cybersecurity attacks. With the security-hardened Ethernet switches you can segregate traffic between different network segments using VLAN and utilize Access Control Lists (ACLs) at the port level, helping you improve VLAN security when data enters your networks through Ethernet switches.

Defense Against Threats

Moxa’s devices prevent exploitation of known vulnerabilities on Windows systems and help protect legacy Windows devices that are unable to install a patch due to a lack of support.
Moxa’s devices can identify cyberattacks and contain them within certain zones.
Moxa’s devices can identify cyberthreats and notify administrators by utilizing IPS pattern matching.

The EDF-G1002-BP Series and EDR-G9010 Series industrial cybersecurity solutions protect your critical assets from cyberattacks by defending your networks at the zone and cell levels.

Security-hardened Networking and Connectivity Solutions

The secure DNA of Moxa products empowers you to run existing industrial systems easily. Moxa is an IEC 62443-4-1 certified industrial connectivity and networking solutions provider. When we develop Moxa products , we reference the security features of the IEC 62443-4-2 standard to ensure secure product development, which allows you to ramp up device security in your industrial applications.
