Protecting controllers from manipulation and unauthorised access

The SecurityBridge acts as a firewall and, thanks to application-specific default settings, it is easy to commission using the plug-and-play principle.

As well as benefiting from the security aspect, users are said to enjoy higher plant availability because only the data that is necessary (authorised configuration and process data) is transmitted.

Pilz will also develop future products from the perspective of security, within a TÜV-certified process in accordance with IEC 62443-4-1. Aspects such as threat scenarios, strengths and weaknesses of protocols or encryption methods are taken into consideration from the outset.

To ensure that technical measures can work, these must be accompanied by organisational measures such as handling instructions, procedures and training. The Pilz Academy offers training courses on the topic of industrial security.
