Reduce overhead with scalable, zero-touch solutions.
Remote field devices may require custom configurations, upgraded connectivity, and secure remote access for external vendor support. Manual configuration and deployment of these devices can be time-consuming and costly. Scalability is reduced, and the likelihood of configuration errors is increased.
Barracuda simplifies deployment with rugged firewalls and ultra-compact connectors that provide security, intelligence, and edge computing support to each endpoint. These devices optimize existing LTE and Wi-Fi connectivity, so there’s no need to delay installation to install new lines. Device deployments are streamlined with policy templates, automated licensing, and zero-touch provisioning.
Leverage Zero Trust for cyber-physical systems.
Maintaining high levels of security for IIoT devices over their lifespan is a daunting task. Device vendors might be unable to release security updates in a timely manner, and installing updates on a large number of production devices poses its own set of challenges. This is especially true if the devices are spread across multiple locations with unstable connectivity.
The convergence of security and networking can eliminate these challenges. Barracuda SecureEdge is an enterprise-grade Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution that helps you securely add IIoT devices to your corporate infrastructure. With Barracuda SecureEdge you can stabilize connectivity and create a consistent security posture across all your sites, things, people, and cloud workloads.
Defend the company from criminal attack.
Industrial control systems (ICS) devices control infrastructure and production systems that ensure the ongoing availability of goods and services. Threat actors target these devices with system intrusion, malware, and other disruptive attacks. Gartner predicts the financial impacts of IIoT and OT attacks will reach over $50 billion in 2023, though no one can accurately predict the full impact of these disruptions.
Barracuda IIoT/OT solutions provide full next-generation security with up to 14 layers of security inspection on different network layers. Cyberattacks on industrial IoT infrastructure have a significant negative impact on companies and usually impact production for one day or more.
Protect your equipment in harsh industrial environments.
Shock, vibration, humidity, and extreme temperatures can lead to equipment failures and unsafe working conditions. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and operational technology (OT) devices exposed to these conditions have to be secured with an intelligent and resilient solution that was built to withstand cyberattacks and tough physical environments.
Barracuda CloudGen Firewall Rugged was built for this purpose, with enhanced ingress protection levels, shock and vibration resistance, and an extended range of operation temperature and humidity. These compact appliances ensure advanced protection and cost-effective connectivity in even the harshest industrial environment.
