Industrial with VPN function firewall Microwall IO

Secure communication for machines and systems The Microwall IO routes these device islands securely and easily into the company intranet. Simple and intuitive filter rules protect sensitive island communication from harmful events in the intranet and from undesired access. Remote maintenance and remote access to the devices in the island network plus management of the Microwall VPN can be accomplished over a WireGuard VPN tunnel both as VPN server and VPN client. The digital in- and outputs allow you to integrate remote maintenance and firewall-specific Microwall IO actions into automation and process environments. A PLC output or simple button/switch can for example provide VPN access, control certain firewall rules or check on the status of network interfaces. The outputs enable external visualization of messages and events such as an activated VPN access. The Microwall IO casts sensitive components or sub-networks into a separate island network and isolates the latter from the higher level company intranet. For remote maintenance, remote support, etc. a WireGuard VPN server is available which provides selected VPN clients with secure and dedicated firewall-protected access to the island components. All connections between the networks must be given express permission via rules based on source/destination IP and the TCP/UDP port numbers used. Communication with undocumented and/or undesired services is prohibited and harmful events such as overload kept from the island.
