iFIX is the Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system communicating with critical process control systems such as PLCs, VFDs, and other assets. IFIX enables plant operators to pinpoint and address issues that impact productivity and gives visibility into operations for smarter OT and IIoT decision-making, increased efficiency, faster troubleshooting and reduced downtime. “We are honored to be working with GE Digital and its reseller channels to bring this solution to customers.” “Industrial companies now have an opportunity to easily and efficiently add additional security controls and policy enforcement through the OTfuse for iFIX appliance,” said Toby Weir-Jones, Bayshore Network’s Chief Product Officer. The OTfuse industrial firewall appliance automatically analyzes industrial network traffic, proposes its own firewall rules, enforces normal operations for each plant environment, and actively reduces threats to OT assets in real-time, now with native support for iFIX’s version 6.0 protocols. It is a physical device that sits in front of critical endpoints, creating an enhanced secure zone for the PLCs and other industrial assets behind it. Bayshore Networks collaborated with GE Digital to add a new layer of network security for six proprietary protocols used on the networks on which iFIX nodes, clients, and drivers operate.īayshore’s OTfuse is an automatically configured, industrial firewall appliance with a proprietary intelligent Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and policy engine, designed for easy deployment and use by automation engineers.
