Mitsubishi Logic Controllers Now Include Nozomi's Security Surveillance Units
In the rapidly evolving world of automation, the need for robust control-level cybersecurity has never been more crucial. Nozomi Networks, a leading provider of OT and IoT security, has introduced Arc Embedded - a groundbreaking security solution designed to improve the safety, security, and reliability of the automation processes we depend upon.
Arc Embedded extends security to and through industrial control systems, down to the field assets they manage. This innovative solution offers high levels of visibility and protection for devices connected to the PLC "backplane", understanding module health, status, communication patterns, configuration changes, and firmware integrity.
Mitsubishi Electric, a renowned name in the industrial sector, offers the Arc Embedded safety sensor software for their iQ-R series PLCs. Nozomi Networks' Arc Embedded is now available for these PLCs via a subscription-based model from Mitsubishi Electric, Nozomi Networks, and Nozomi Networks channel partners.
The deployment of Arc Embedded brings numerous benefits to organisations. They can enjoy greater operational resilience and uptime, reduced cyberrisk, and better compliance. Moreover, Arc Embedded provides real-time visibility and security from the network endpoint to the manufacturing floor, allowing teams to analyse and deter process-level threats and malicious user activity without impacting current resources or disrupting mission-critical networks.
PLCs, or programmable logic controllers, are industrial digital computers designed to automate manufacturing processes. They ensure high reliability and ease of programming, and are widely used across various industries. By improving data integrity, Arc Embedded more accurately detects PLC anomalies and unauthorised access, offering AI-powered protection for continuous monitoring, faster responses to security incidents, and robust detection of known and unknown vulnerabilities.
The PLC market is expected to reach USD22 billion by 2030 as more industries embrace and expand their use of automation. With Arc Embedded, Nozomi Networks Co-founder and CPO Andrea Carcano states that CISOs can transform how they manage and protect critical infrastructure.
In summary, Nozomi Networks' Arc Embedded is set to revolutionise the industrial control system landscape by providing unparalleled security and visibility at the process level of industrial automation equipment and field assets. As the world continues to become more automated, the need for reliable and secure control systems will only increase, making Arc Embedded an invaluable asset for organisations striving to maintain the highest levels of safety and efficiency.
