Application: Discover with the Microwall – Check devices in your own network How it all started: More structure and security in the network With the Microwall, more complex network structures can be divided into several sub-nets. As a firewall router, the Microwall monitors and controls the communication between the individual network segments. This makes the […]
The W&T Microwall VPN Firewall router has WireGuard integrated, an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPsec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant than OpenVPN. WireGuard is designed as a general purpose VPN […]
The requirements for IT security are continually increasing in industry. Yet at the same time we often see a lack of personnel resources for implementing this security. The IT security products from W&T are designed for straightforward implementation of concrete security requirements. As a basic measure for many IT security concepts the W&T micro-firewalls isolate […]
Bridge: Microwall Bridge The Microwall Bridge operates transparently as far as the IP ranges are concerned. This means the IP ranges (Net-IDs) of the surrounding network and the island side are identical. Nevertheless, cross-network connections are only possible after establishing express release rules based on the respective involved IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers. Preferred […]
Do you know the new W&T Microwall IO unit has Digital IO on board that you can use to enable/disable the firewall with a physical switch or a PLC output controlled by time logic? The 55212 Microwall IO is a standard Microwall with Digital I/O on-board. You can programme these I/O to change the state […]
IT Security for PLCs, Machines, Devices and Systems Secure your control network The demands on IT security are continually increasing in the manufacturing world. Yet at the same time there are often too few personnel resources for implementing such security. The IT security products from W&T are designed to implement concrete IT security solutions in […]
Microwall application example: Isolating a CNC milling machine. In our company we use a CNC milling machine for fabricating prototypes and small series. A Windows 7 embedded standard with the latest patch level runs on the control computer which is incorporated into our production network. Since Microsoft will no longer provide expanded support for this operating […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Security Small firewalls protect machines and systems Author / Editor: Martin Reimann / Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Reinhold Schäfer Software components of machines are increasingly becoming targets for attacks on the Internet. Small firewalls can be used to isolate the machines by segmenting traffic and increasing security in the corporate network. The Microwall can be installed […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One widely used technique for improving security in corporate networks is to subdivide them into smaller segments by department. Communication between these subnets is monitored, controlled and logged by firewall routers. Attackers and malware that succeed in penetrating one of the subnets are prevented from further spreading by packet filters. One way of further increasing […]
By Isolating withMicrowall Gigabit (Firewall), you increase security in your network – simply and effectively The segmentation of individual machine islands is a consistent form of segmentation: Small firewalls, such as the Microwall, isolate machines in their own data network segment. All communication to and from this island will initially be stopped on a […]
