Industrial IoT specialist NEXCOM has introduced a series of OT cybersecurity hardware designed to secure Industry 4.0 and embedded manufacturing installations.

The ISA Series is a line of OT security solutions that comprises: the ISA 140, an IoT security gateway; the ISA 141, a dual 5G/Wi-Fi security router; and the ISA 142, a high density security gateway and switch.

The ISA 140 is designed to ensure secure connectivity for smaller-scale deployments. It acts as a protective barrier for proprietary equipment lacking updated cybersecurity software.

The ISA 141 is a dual 5G/Wi-Fi security router. It offers wireless broadband capabilities with uninterrupted internet access, mobile load balancing, and improved connectivity for IIoT devices.

The ISA 142 is a high-density security gateway and switch. It supports large-scale deployments. It leverages Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology for predictable and reliable data transmission.

The NEXCOM’s ISA Series aims to guarantee reliable connectivity in challenging industrial environments. Powered by Intel Atom x6000E Series processors, these devices are designed to offer robust protection against cyber threats. With features like Out-of-band (OOB) management, remote device monitoring and management become hassle-free, minimising disruptions to manufacturing operations.
