Cybersecurity Gateways

Cybersecurity Gateways

Securing Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Networks

The digital revolution has fundamentally transformed how industrial and critical infrastructure operates. Today, Operational Technology (OT) environments—spanning manufacturing floors, energy substations, transportation networks, and oil and gas pipelines—are increasingly connected to enterprise IT networks. This convergence brings unparalleled efficiency and data insights, but it also opens a Pandora's box of cybersecurity risks. Standard IT security solutions are simply not built to withstand the unique demands of industrial settings. Protecting critical infrastructure requires purpose-built hardware. Our selection of Advanced Industrial Cybersecurity Gateways, featuring robust devices from industry leader Lanner Electronics, provides the essential, hardened perimeter defense necessary to shield your most critical assets from internal and external threats.

The Imperative for Industrial-Grade Security

In an industrial control system (ICS) or supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) network, downtime is not only costly

 

but also potentially catastrophic, leading to environmental damage, public safety hazards, and substantial regulatory fines. Unlike traditional enterprise data, OT protocols and equipment are susceptible to latency and often cannot be easily patched or rebooted. In these settings, a dedicated Industrial Cybersecurity Gateway becomes indispensable. These devices function as a highly resilient security enforcement point, specifically designed to withstand the harsh physical and electromagnetic conditions of the industrial world while intelligently inspecting and filtering operational traffic.

Our curated cybersecurity gateways are designed to secure the non-negotiable requirements of mission-critical networks. They are engineered to bridge the trust gap between IT and OT domains, implementing deep packet inspection (DPI) on industrial protocols like Modbus TCP, DNP3, and IEC 61850 to enforce policy beyond simple IP addresses and ports. This granular level of control is crucial for maintaining both security and operational integrity.

Ruggedization Meets High Performance

The core strength of a Lanner's cybersecurity gateway lies in its uncompromising physical and computational design, ensuring reliable protection where general-purpose hardware would quickly fail.

  • Physical Resilience and Certification: Every appliance is built for longevity in demanding environments. Features like fanless design eliminate the primary point of failure—moving parts—while mitigating the ingestion of dust, moisture, and particulate matter common in industrial settings. Many of our units are designed for DIN-Rail mounting, simplifying integration into existing control cabinets. For particular and hazardous environments, we offer appliances certified to standards such as Class 1, Division 2 (C1D2), making them suitable for areas where flammable gases or vapors may be present (for example, the ICS-P375 substation gateway is certified to C1, D2.) Furthermore, for the utility sector, appliances certified to the IEC 61850-3 standard ensure electromagnetic immunity and reliable operation within power substation environments, guaranteeing that security measures remain active even under extreme electrical stress.
  • Processing Power for Deep Defense: Effective industrial cybersecurity, which includes next-generation firewalling, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and DPI, requires substantial processing power. Lanner gateways, such as the ICS-I331, are equipped with high-performance, yet power-efficient, industrial-grade CPUs, including the Intel Atom X7000 and X6000 series, as well as the AMD Ryzen V1404I processor. These powerful platforms ensure that security inspection processes can run at line speed without introducing debilitating latency into time-sensitive OT communications, striking the perfect balance between security effectiveness and network performance.
  • Advanced Connectivity and Throughput: Connectivity is paramount for managing increasingly complex networks. Our gateways feature multiple high-speed 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5 GbE) ports, offering substantial bandwidth for high-throughput data applications. The inclusion of SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports enables flexible fiber optic connections, extending secure reach over long distances and providing electrical isolation, which is crucial in substation and wide-area industrial deployments.

Essential Applications Across Critical Infrastructure

The need for a dedicated industrial cybersecurity gateway is universal across the critical infrastructure landscape:

  • Power Substations and Utilities: Utilizing IEC 61850-3 certified gateways to secure SCADA communications and prevent remote manipulation of essential grid assets.
  • Manufacturing and Smart Factories: Implementing defense-in-depth strategies, segmenting machinery (PLCs, robots) from the corporate network to contain threats and ensure production continuity.
  • Oil & Gas and Chemical Processing: Deploying C1D2-rated appliances to maintain strict security in hazardous locations without compromising safety protocols.
  • Transportation and Rail: Using ruggedized, wide-temperature appliances to secure signaling systems, onboard diagnostics, and station communications.
