Schneider Electric has announced new operational technology (OT) cybersecurity functionality for SCADAPack™ 470i and 474i, helping to enable critical infrastructure customers to more securely manage remote terminal unit (RTU) access in harsh environments. The SCADAPack 470i and 474i provide a single smart device for remote control and computing operations, integrating IT-standard security tools for more enhanced OT security.
Key Aspects of the SCADAPack 470i and 474i Cybersecurity Functionality
Enhanced RTU Security Management: Supports secure access using standard IT tools, such as Active Directory™, within OT environments, including water and pipeline security.
Rugged RTU Platform with Linux Flexibility: Hosts edge services, protocols, and applications for more efficient cybersecurity and remote operations.
Role-based Access Control (RBAC): Helps maintain compliance with edge cybersecurity regulations.
Integration with IT and OT Security Tools: Supports IP firewall, NAT, and DNP3 secure authentication.
As cyber threats to water, wastewater, and energy pipelines continue to grow, securing access to RTUs in remote and harsh environments is critical. The SCADAPack 470i and 474i integrate IT security features with OT requirements, offering an approach that helps streamline operations while improving security compliance.
These enhancements help to align with ongoing efforts to strengthen cybersecurity in industrial automation, helping to ensure that critical infrastructure operators can manage OT security more effectively while maintaining safe and efficient operations.
