Secure Asset Management Now Available For Tofino Security Users

This firm has released a new loadable security module (LSM) for its Tofino Industrial Security Solution that discovers and identifies what devices are on the network and creates the firewall rules to control the traffic flowing between them — all without risk to the industrial process. This latest LSM, known as the Tofino Secure Asset Management module, locates devices and generates rules simply by analyzing the traffic on the network. Designed specifically for industrial control operations in critical industries, such as oil and gas, manufacturing, utilities and power generation, the Tofino never probes the control devices. Instead, it quietly listens for traffic and then uses special characterization techniques to determine the types of control devices on the network. — MTL Instruments, a Div. of Cooper Crouse-Hinds, Luton, U.K.
