Axiomtek IFW320 industrial firewall appliance

Axiomtek has launched IFW320, an industrial 2-port gigabit firewall appliance with NAT and VPN. Equipped with stateful packet inspection, DoS and IDP, the DIN-rail industrial firewall provides cybersecurity protection for industrial, military and critical infrastructure equipment.

Supporting IPv4 and IPv6 dual-mode protocol and coming with a high throughput rate up to 500 Mbps, the system provides not only flexible choice in protocol solution but also good data transmission. The intelligent platform features built-in IPsec VPN, providing site-to-site secure tunnelling; PPTP VPN, offering point-to-point connection for employees at home; and SSL VPN, allowing easy VPN access to headquarters through a web browser. The firewall router device provides a secure way to configure and maintain devices.

The device is embedded with industrial protocol management, paving a way to a secure fieldbus network. Its CMS is said to increase operation and distribution efficiency, avoid mistakes and reduce costs in network management. The CMS can also manage the installation of the distributed appliances across remote factories and robots.

The Industrial Ethernet firewall platform is suitable for Ethernet security applications in sensitive remote control or monitoring networks, such as in oil, gas, water and wastewater, power or factory automation systems. Models are available for use in hazardous environments with temperatures ranging from -40 to 75°C.
