Invensys Triconex Firewall for Safety Systems

Triconex safety systems, from Invensys Operations Management, include embedded OPC servers within their Tricon communications module (TCM). To ensure that these modules are cyber secure, Invensys teamed with Byres Security Inc. to create a firewall specifically for Triconex systems. The two companies enlisted the services of MTL Instruments to build the security hardware. Users can deploy the firewall in front of the Triconex OPC server to thwart attacks and traffic storms before they reach the safety and critical control system, says Invensys.
