New B+B SmartWorx Ethernet security pack helps defend data against internal and external cyber threats


OTTAWA, Ill., July 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- B+B SmartWorx powered by Advantech is introducing its Ethernet switch Security Pack enhancement, which helps defend users from malicious attacks and confidential information leakage more than ever before. The new Security Pack enhancement is available with all EKI-7700 managed Ethernet switches.

The new Security Pack enhancement is available with all EKI-7700 managed Ethernet switches from B+B SmartWorx powered by Advantech.

Common industrial network threats, such as information theft, DNS spoofing and denial-of-service attacks, can result in tremendous loss. Unencrypted raw data, a lack of IP and MAC address control, and shorts in network access authentication mechanisms are usually the root cause.

Each network security layer implements policies and controls. Within these layers, authorized users can gain access to network resources, but malicious actors need to be blocked from carrying out exploits and threats. For ample protection, network security layers must build on each other.

With the new B+B SmartWorx Security Pack, data security is heightened throughout network layers with the following features:

"We're happy to be able to offer this security enhancement upgrade to customers who have already purchased EKI-7700 Ethernet switches, and to those who purchase in the future," said Ken Kao, B+B SmartWorx director of networking solutions. "Our managed Ethernet switches allow for secure penetration in mission critical environments, removing security concerns so you can focus on your application and business at hand. By utilizing network Layer 3 protection, there's not an industrial Layer 2 switch on the market that matches the level of security in our managed switches."

Supported models include EKI-7706, EKI-7708, EKI-7710, EKI-7712, EKI-7716, EKI-7720 and EKI-7428.
