November 17, 2009 – Belden releases Hirschmann Eagle 20 Tofino product line. The products combine a rugged security appliance with a collection of software modules that together provide practical and effective industrial network security that is simple to implement and does not require plant shutdowns. Suitable for use by the process control and SCADA industries, the Hirschmann Eagle 20 Tofino products provide increased safety, network security and performance of industrial control systems.
Plug-n-Protect security appliance
The Hirschmann Eagle 20 Tofino Security Appliance is used to implement zones of security for equipment with common safety requirements and is unique because it can be installed in a live network with no special training, no pre-configuration and no changes to the network (Plug-n-Protect). It is available in four variants that provide a mix of fiber and copper connectivity options.
Loadable Security Modules (LSMs)
LSMs are software applications that customize the features on each security appliance on the network. Modules include Firewall, Secure Asset Management, Modbus TCP Enforcer, VPN and Event Logger. Of particular note is the Modbus TCP Enforcer LSM which performs detailed analysis and filtering of all Modbus TCP messages, and is the only security product certified by Modbus-IDA.
Central Management Platform
The Hirschmann Eagle 20 Tofino Central Management Platform (CMP) is an easy-to-use software application that centrally coordinates Hirschmann Eagle 20 Tofino Security Appliances and their LSMs.
