Schneider Electric SCADAPack Trademark RTU Enhances OT Security

Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has announced new (operational technology) OT cybersecurity functionality for SCADAPack Trademark 470i and 474i. Critical infrastructure customers can now securely manage RTU access in harsh environments as easily as they can manage their employees' email access.

Cyber threats to water and oil and gas pipelines continue to grow. So, controlling access to RTUs in remote and harsh environments is vital to OT security. Yet, managing this can be dangerous and time intensive. The SCADAPack 470i and 474i provides one smart device for all remote control and computer operations. This way, customers can securely manage RTU access using standard IT tools, such as Active Directory Trademark , in OT security, including water security and pipeline security.

The combination of a rugged RTU platform with the flexibility of Linux ensures a single SCADAPack 470i or 474i can host edge services, protocols, and applications for efficient OT security for all remote control and computer operations.

SCADAPack 470i and 474i's role-based access control (RBAC) features also aid in edge cyber regulation compliance. The SCADAPack 47xi integrates with standard IT and OT security tools with support for IP firewall, NAT, DNP3 secure authentication, and more.

"We can see the growing vulnerability of critical infrastructure like water and wastewater systems and energy pipelines to cyberattacks," said James Redmond, Schneider Electric's global offer manager for SCADAPack. "That's why enhancing OT with standard security features from the IT world is imperative. For a negligible cost, enabling RBAC on smart RTUs helps protect this critical infrastructure by enabling continuous safe and profitable operations."

SCADAPack 470i and 474i's new OT cybersecurity functionality provides customers with a unique offering as the first RTU with RBAC on the market. Its diverse capabilities within a single easy-to-use platform reduces the costs of design, installation, maintenance, and edge security.
