January 19, 2010 – Byres Security introduces Tofino Argon Product Series, a suite of five rugged Plug-n-Protect security appliances with varying connectivity, temperature and power supply capabilities, as well as a selection of firmware modules that customize the functionality of each appliance. The result is a practical and effective cyber security system that is uniquely suitable for protecting industrial facilities with a variety of SCADA, process control and networking systems. The release of these new products lets companies select the exact mix of security features, fiber / twisted-pair network support and environmental hardening their plants need in a security solution.
For example, detailed filtering of Modbus TCP messages over fiber optic cable (by combining the Tofino Argon Modbus Enforcer LSM with the Tofino 220 MM/MM appliance) might be ideal for securing an onsite tank farm, while secure remote maintenance support over a DSL modem would take advantage of the Tofino Argon VPN LSM and the Tofino 220 TX/TX appliance combination. The Tofino Argon Product Series is part of the Tofino Industrial Security Solution, which includes Tofino technology that is sold by Belden / Hirschmann, Honeywell and MTL Instruments. All Tofino products are simple to implement and do not require shutdowns to deploy, providing increased safety, network security and performance of control systems.
The Tofino Argon Product Series is available from BSI and from Tofino Certified VARs.
