With cyber threats increasingly targeting industrial environments, the Anybus Defender product range from HMS offers a firewall to protect OT (Operational Technology) networks. The main use cases are network segmentation according to ISA/IEC 62443-3-3, network address translation with traffic filtering and deep packet inspection (DPI) for industrial protocols to provide comprehensive protection for industrial assets. The product range is suitable for machine builders who want to integrate the highest level of cyber security into their machines, as well as for plant operators in the manufacturing and critical infrastructure sectors who want to better arm their networks against potential security threats.

The Anybus Defender range comprises four different models

Anybus Defender Compact 1004 for integration into smaller machines or for smaller industrial environments
