Cyber Security - IEC 62443 & IEC 62351

IEC 62443 provides guidelines and best practices to ensure the resilience, integrity, and availability of industrial systems, protecting them from unauthorized access, manipulation, or disruption.

Reliable and Robust Products - Rigorous testing and continuous evaluations to meet the industrial security Standards.

Seamless integration with your existing infrastructure, minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency.

IEC 62443 compliant solutions, combined with our ISO 27001 certification, provide the highest level of protection for your critical infrastructure.

Security compliances Measures includes:
    - Network segmentation
    - Access control
    - Encryption
    - Intrusion detection and prevention
    - Secure remote access
    - Regular vulnerability assessments
    - Restricted Data Flow
    - Timely Response to Events

OPC-UA (Industry 4.0 Communication)

- iPLON integrated OPC-UA Communication protocol to its Embedded & Cloud computing system as part of data exchange to Solar Power Plant Station to Clients Centralized HQ Monitoring and Control Station.

- Integrating OPC UA and time-series databases, ensuring a smooth and reliable solution tailored to specific requirements.

- Client-Server Architecture: OPC UA follows a client-server model, where server exposes its data and functionality through a well-defined information model, and the client can browse, read, write, and subscribe to data or perform other operations as needed.

- secure Communication: OPC UA incorporates robust security mechanisms by secure certificate-based authentication and encryption of data at transport level.

- Rich Functionality: It supports historical data access, alarms and events, complex data types, method calls, and more.

- Scalability and Performance: OPC UA is scalable and can handle large amounts of data and a high number of connected devices. It supports efficient data compression and optimized communication mechanisms, allowing for efficient utilization of network bandwidth and minimizing latency.

MQTT

- Publish/Subscribe Model: MQTT follows a publish/subscribe messaging pattern. This decoupled model allows for efficient and scalable communication between multiple devices. 

- Quality of Service (QoS): The QoS levels range from QoS 0 (at most once) to QoS 2 (exactly once). The level of QoS can be chosen based on the desired reliability.

- Security: MQTT provides security in Transport Layer Security (TLS1.3) encryption for secure communication over the network. Also allows for client authentication and authorization using digital certificates. 

- Persistent Sessions and Retained Messages: MQTT supports persistent sessions, which allow clients to maintain their subscriptions and receive messages even if they temporarily disconnect from the network.
