The Tofino Xenon security appliance from Hirschmann is the latest addition to the Tofino family of security devices purpose built to meet the needs of industry. This device, which ensures maximum data security for production networks, is a combination of the proven Tofino software with state-of-the-art hardware.

Thanks to its reduced power consumption, it also offers significantly lower operating costs. In addition, the extended operating temperature range of the Tofino Xenon means that it can often be used without supplementary air conditioning equipment. A further plus is its support for redundant power supplies operating at any voltage from 12 V_DC to 48 V_DC (or even 24 V_AC).

The Tofino Xenon security appliance is the ideal solution for segmenting a control network into security zones. It can be installed into an existing control system with no changes to the network, forming conduits of communications between the zones. The control engineer defines rules that specify which network devices are allowed to communicate and what protocols they may use. Deep packet inspection (DPI) options allow detailed filters to enforce security policy such as only allowing read commands to be sent to a PLC. Tofino’s flexible architecture allows for the creation of security zones - zone level security - throughout a control network to protect critical system components. Tofino helps the customer meet and exceed NERC CIP requirements and ISA/IEC-62443 Standards. And best of all, it helps to avoid expensive down time and achieve optimal performance in the customer's plant.
