Securing Manufacturing Networks

macmon NAC & SDP for Critical Infrastructure

In production areas, common communication systems such as fieldbus, Interbus or Profibus have increasingly been replaced by PROFINET, an Ethernet-based data communication system.

The growing relevance of WLAN in the production environment is hardly surprising, because compared to fixed cabling, it enables flexible data transmission between machines. In addition, employees can easily access devices, applications and data.

 

However, in addition to economic advantages - since standard components are now used for data exchange - this circumstance also offers enormous potential for danger. With the increasing networking of production systems, which in some cases extends into the office world, the complexity and vulnerability of the networks is increasing.

Case study: Hagleitner

Simple solutions for a complex infrastructure

Thanks to macmon NAC, Hagleitner was able to move migrating departments in live operation - without any patching! We were able to authenticate the endpoints over the macmon RADIUS server by MAC address, user name/password, AD account or certificate.
