Aug. 20, 2025 – Detect and stop sophisticated threats with the Belden Industrial Firewall. This next-generation firewall (NGFW) delivers 360-degree cybersecurity, scalable defense in depth and deep visibility for OT networks.
Cyber threats are evolving—and your defenses should too. The Belden Industrial Firewall enables layered traffic analysis beyond basic filtering. Stateful packet inspection confirms packets belong to valid sessions, deep packet inspection verifies payload structure and content, and intrusion detection and prevention identify anomalies or malicious patterns in traffic. Together, these capabilities detect threats that traditional
firewalls miss. With unified security tools on one powerful platform, this firewall delivers the visibility, control and speed industrial networks need. You can prevent sophisticated attacks from causing damage, ensuring the network remains secure as new threats emerge.
Built following the secure development lifecycle, the Belden Industrial Firewall helps industrial organizations keep pace with emerging cybersecurity regulations and directives. With broad OT protocol support, strong processing power, and a compact, industrial-grade design, this NGFW enables a multi-layered cybersecurity strategy. It supports the enforcement of security policies across several Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layers, helping organizations strengthen cyber resilience and meet compliance mandates. It’s the ideal firewall for future-proofing critical infrastructure and complex operations.
The Belden Industrial Firewall supports cyber resilience across diverse industrial verticals and discrete and process manufacturing environments. In industrial environments, like automotive, chemical, oil and gas, machine building, semiconductor, and food and beverage, this NGFW defends against downtime. Critical infrastructure sectors, such as power transmission and distribution and water and wastewater, benefit from its robust design and reliable performance.
Key features:
- Network segmentation to reduce attack surfaces and contain threats.
- Stateful firewall for session-aware protection between external and internal networks.
- Support for all major virtual private network (VPN) protocols.
- Built on a trusted technology stack for reliability and business continuity.
- Robust application programming interfaces (APIs) for seamless integration, automation and management of Belden firewalls.
- Exceptional speed and throughput to handle demanding industrial traffic loads.
- Deep packet inspection for many popular industrial communication protocols.
- Centralized management of firewall rules and policies that may be initiated remotely and at scale.
