Phoenix Contact - Increase cybersecurity of machines and plants
The benefits of network connectivity, such as increased productivity and flexibility, are obvious. But unfortunately, this also creates more and more potential attack targets for all kinds of cyber attacks. Cybercriminals repeatedly succeed in exploiting new vulnerabilities to gain unauthorised access to machines and installations, for example. That is why governments are introducing new (additional) cyber security legislation. In doing so, they are setting ambitious goals.
To ensure or even improve the cybersecurity of your machines and installations, it is essential to keep the cybersecurity functionality of your network equipment up-to-date. But how do you go about it?
Managed network equipment
Unmanaged network equipment, such as unmanaged switches, are cost-effective and easy to install. However, they cannot be properly secured or kept up-to-date. Managed switches, on the other hand, offer security features such as access control and can be easily updated with new firmware. Thus, they are always up-to-date in terms of cybersecurity.
Do Managed Switches offer other advantages?
Besides security functions, Managed Switches also offer excellent (preventive) diagnostics and redundancy mechanisms. This minimises network downtime. These and many other features increase the availability of your machines and installations. This ensures that the difference in purchase price is quickly recovered.
