Secure remote access for industrial networks

The Secure Remote Access Solution allows customers to remotely access their sites in order to troubleshoot and fix problems. At the core of the Secure Remote Access Solution is Secomea’s GateManager, a cloud service which enables customers to connect their operator stations to their remote devices. LinkManager software running on PCs or mobile devices connects operator stations to the cloud. SiteManager software running on PCs or the Hirschmann GECKO connects the remote devices to the cloud.

“The Secure Remote Access Solution provides a protected cloud system that can be set-up with minimal assistance,” said Mark Cooksley, Product Manager. “Permanent IP addresses are not required, and there is no need to reconfigure firewalls. This enables secure access for remote programming and diagnostics without disrupting existing systems.”

“Hirschmann has a strong reputation for delivering products with unique security features, and since Secomea recently passed a major security audit performed by an independent security organisation in Germany, we see a perfect match between our organisations,” said Michael Ferdinandsen, CEO of Secomea.

The Secure Remote Access Solution is well suited for the machine building, automotive and food and beverage industries, which often need remote access to plants and machinery around the world. Remote access reduces the need for travel and allows staff to work more efficiently by handling multiple systems simultaneously.
