SECURITY CAPABILITIES

• Challenge: Most industrial protocols have limited to no security, creating

SECURE
vulnerabilities within the operations network
PROTOCOLS
AT THE EDGE • Solution: Translating to secure protocols at the edge of the network enables
secure data transfer within and out of the factory

• Challenge: Network administrators must balance network

SECURE segmentation for security with data access for digital transformation
NETWORK • Solution: Create a single point of secure data collection for each
SEGMENTATION network segment

• Challenge: Operations teams are wary of letting critical production data

leave the factory
GRANULAR
• Solution: Implement “least privilege” data access with granular
PERMISSIONS
permissions, ensuring data is only accessible or read/write when necessary
