Security communications processors

Protect your SIMATIC automation devices
With their integrated firewall – to monitor the data flow – and VPN, security communications processors protect against data manipulation and espionage. A special benefit of the security communications processors for SIMATIC controllers is the automatic generation of firewall rules when configured using the TIA Portal. The firewall automatically approves configured communications connections, which substantially reduces the time needed for configuration and also the risk of error.

Thanks to the integrated security functions (firewall and VPN), the communications processors protect SIMATIC S7-1200 stations and downstream networks against unauthorized access, and also encrypt data transfers to protect against manipulation and espionage.

Security information
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept. For more information about industrial security, please visit.
