MNS-DX-SECURE adds extra security features such as IPSec, VPN, firewall, encryption and authentication needed for industrial cyber security. Extra Security features are unlocked via a licensed software key. IP firewall includes address/port inspection/filtering. VPN connectivity over IPSec with strong industry standard encryption with shared keys (PSK) and X.509 certificates provide robust secure access. VPN’s comply to IPSec standards and have proven interoperability with industry standard VPN devices. Management security includes encrypted interfaces multilevel userIDs with strong-form passwords and authentication via RADIUS. Serial data is encrypted using Serial SSL capabilities included in MNS-DX-SECURE.
