Cybersecurity from machine level to cloud
ifm creates a secure connection between the real and the digital world
ifm protects your system with multi-level security measures. To achieve this, we rely on Zero-Trust principles, strong data encryption and clear network segmentation. Permanent monitoring, real-time threat detection and regular security updates ensure maximum operational security for your production.
Secure edge gateway for the industry
The edge gateway was developed to enable reliable remote access while effectively securing your OT infrastructure.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Separate network connections for IT and OT prevent data from being exchanged uncontrolled between the two networks via the gateway. This ensures that network segmentation is maintained while both systems can be operated reliably at the same time.
- Access is controlled via a password-protected web interface with user rights management, backup and restore function.
- Regular software and security updates.
- The specially secured operating system fulfils industrial requirements and offers high availability.
- The gateway was developed for use in safe environments in accordance with IEC 62443-1-1.
Cloud security with moneo
The moneo platform offers a secure and scalable environment for managing users, devices and connections. Modern security solutions guarantee maximum protection for your production environment.
Authentication and user administration
- moneo supports Single Sign-On (SSO) for centralised and convenient authentication across multiple systems.
- Role-based access management ensures that users can only access the functions and areas that are intended for them.
Device management
- Centralised control for IoT devices: moneo offers a single platform for performing remote firmware updates, monitoring, onboarding and offboarding of devices.
Secure cloud connectivity
- Every moneo edgeGateway uses certificate-based authentication.
- Network access is clearly defined and limited to specific ports and URLs.
- Data transmission between edgeGateway and cloud is completely TLS-encrypted.
Technology based on Microsoft Azure
Since 2024, Microsoft and ifm have partnered to develop secure, innovative and easily accessible solutions for our customers. moneo is hosted on Microsoft Azure and uses numerous security services of this platform to comprehensively protect your applications.
Microsoft Defender for Cloud protects cloud-based applications from cyber threats and vulnerabilities. It includes:
- DevSecOps integration for standardised security management in multi-cloud environments
- Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) for early identification and reduction of risks
- Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP) to protect servers, containers, storage, databases and other workloads
Azure Firewall is an intelligent network security service that provides advanced threat protection for Azure cloud environments.
- Firewall-as-a-Service with integrated high availability and unlimited scalability.
- Checks both traffic within a virtual network and traffic between the network and external sources.
Azure Threat Protection Intelligence provides integrated, real-time threat detection and response. By using Microsoft’s global threat intelligence, the solution helps to detect security threats at an early stage.
Safety through design
Cybersecurity as a continuous process.
As the connection between IT and OT continues to grow, so do the requirements for the protection of industrial systems. ifm is therefore consistently developing new security mechanisms to protect your production against current and future threats.
