Secure Your Industrial Network with Axiomtek’s Robust IFW330 Firewall

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. - Feb. 22, 2016 - PRLog -- Axiomtek, one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers of innovative, high performance and reliable PC-based industrial computer products, is proud to announce the IFW330, an integrated industrial 3-port firewall with NAT/VPN/router all-in-one is designed to keep your automation networks safe and secure. As we enter the era of IoT (Internet of Things), the rise in cyber-attacks in industrial appliances has resulted in cyber security becoming a central concern amongst industrial automation and control system users and vendors. The Axiomtek IFW330 is designed to protect sensitive networks and mission-critical assets against growing cyber threats for many applications including electric power generation, oil and gas refineries, fuel pipelines, water and wastewater treatment plants, chemical factories, and factory automation.

Equipped with firewall features such as stateful packet inspection, Denial of Service (DoS), and Intrusion Detection & Prevention (IDP), the IFW330 can be used to protect machines and equipment from connecting to un-trusted Internet sources. The intelligent DIN-rail firewall platform is built with Site-to-Site IPSec VPN Tunnels, Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) VPN client connections, and SSL VPN. It supports IPv4 and IPv6 dual-mode protocol and comes with a high throughput rate maximum up to 500Mbps, providing flexible choices in protocol solutions and better data transmission. The robust IFW330 also has industrial protocol management including EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, LonWorks, PROFINET, Modbus, and DNP that ensure a secure field bus network.

“Today, the industrial automation infrastructure is more exposed to network vulnerabilities and new cyber threats,” said Mercy Peng, product manager of Software & Solution Department at Axiomtek. “The IFW330 is designed to secure remote access and also protect critical devices in the control networks.”

The IFW330 is powered by the low power consumption Intel® Atom™ processor E3815. The Intel® Bay Trail fanless industrial firewall system supports one WAN, one LAN and one configurable WAN/DMZ interface providing flexible configuration for different applications. The slim-type DIN-rail firewall appliance comes with 2GB DRAM and 2GB CompactFlash™ for storage. Other I/O features include one VGA, one USB 2.0, one 4-channel DIO, one RS-232, and one RS-232/422/485 port. The IFW330 is built with a heavy-duty aluminum extrusion with IP40 anti-dust ingress protection, giving it a high degree of structural strength and protection. Its fanless design allows for noiseless operations and lowers maintenance cost. The Intel® Atom-based industrial firewall solution supports extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C and can be integrated anywhere through the DIN-rail and wall-mount mounting kit. The power-saving IFW330 is equipped with a wide range 12V - 48V DC terminal block power input for industrial use.

Axiomtek’s new IFW330 is available now. Axiomtek provides a wide array of intelligent IoT & M2M solutions, network communication platform, industrial panel PCs, systems & platforms and embedded boards & modules solutions.
