Hirschmann Eagle Tofino zone-level security switches

The Hirschmann Eagle Tofino range of zone-level switches combines a rugged security appliance with a collection of software modules for industrial network security that are simple to implement and do not require plant shutdowns. The range provides improved safety, network security and performance of industrial control systems.

Poor network segmentation, unprotected points of entry into the network, ‘soft’ targets such as unpatched PCs and vulnerable PLCs and human error can result in significant production losses and safety issues. The distributed security solution quickly implements cyber security protection within control networks. Its flexible architecture allows users to create security zones throughout a control network to protect critical system components.

Benefits of the range include: no IT knowledge required; simplified regulatory and standards compliance; ability to configure and manage security for an entire control network from one location; and a VPN system that is easy to deploy and does not risk industrial processes.

Applications include process control, SCADA systems, discrete control, oil and gas custody transfer, safety instrumentation systems, managing PLC programming stations, display-only HMI panels and partner access to telemetry data.
