The SCALANCE S Industrial Security Appliance protects industrial networks and devices by segmenting the network and establishing secure communication channels.

• Industrial firewall appliances, more information
• Industrial VPN appliances, more information
• SCALANCE SC-600 is designed for high-performance, scalable network security. It is the right choice for plant-level architectures, complex segmentation, and scenarios requiring redundancy (e.g., VRRP).
• The SCALANCE S615 / S615 EEC is optimized for compact deployments and secure remote access, such as machine-level protection or remote service connections.
• Routed and bridge firewall modes
• Dynamic firewall rules for temporary access
• Ethernet and fiber-optic connectivity (long-distance communication)

Industrial Cybersecurity Services help you protect your automation environments. Our experts provide IEC 62443-based cybersecurity to safeguard productivity and uptime.

SCALANCE M Industrial Routers A versatile portfolio—wired or wireless: SCALANCE M includes mobile wireless routers and routers for wired communication.

Secure remote access for the maintenance of distributed plants or machines is very easy with the SINEMA Remote Connect VPN management platform.

Industrial networks face constant cyber threats that can lead to production downtime, data loss, and safety risks. SCALANCE S Industrial Security Appliances provide robust protection by combining network segmentation, secure remote access, and seamless IT/OT integration as part of a defense-in-depth strategy.

With high-performance firewall and VPN capabilities, SCALANCE S enables precise control of communication between network zones while ensuring secure access across distributed industrial environments.

Reduce risks by dividing networks into secure zones and controlling communication with granular rules. Limit attack surfaces and protect production cells, lines, and plants from unauthorized access and lateral threat movement.

Support remote maintenance and monitoring with encrypted communication. Enable secure access to distributed assets while maintaining full control and visibility across multiple sites and users.

Connect industrial networks with IT systems while ensuring compliance with IEC 62443. Ensure consistent security policies and seamless data exchange across all organizational levels.

Process up to 750 Mbit/s of firewall throughput with up to 1,000 rules and support up to 200 VPN connections. Enable secure segmentation and encrypted communication within a single integrated platform.

Ensure continuous operation with VRRP and firewall state synchronization. Maintain stable communication and seamless failover in the event of device or network disruptions.

Configure via TIA Portal, the web interface, or the CLI, and integrate into network management systems. Operate reliably in harsh environments with extended temperature ranges and a rugged hardware design.

These features enable flexible integration into existing networks and secure communication across distributed industrial environments. SCALANCE SC-600 devices support more complex architectures, while the SCALANCE S615 provides an efficient solution for targeted protection and remote access.

SCALANCE S protects industrial networks by segmenting machines and production systems into secure zones and controlling communication between them. Only authorized access is permitted, preventing unauthorized users and reducing the risk of cyberattacks spreading across the network. It also supports use cases such as secure remote maintenance and flexible cell protection concepts within industrial environments.

SCALANCE S can be centrally managed and monitored using SINEC NMS, supporting network management that complies with IEC 62443 security standards. Devices can also be configured via TIA Portal, web-based management (WBM), or CLI, enabling flexible integration into existing IT and OT infrastructures. This enables the seamless connection of industrial networks to enterprise IT security architectures while maintaining consistent security policies.

How a simple SCALANCE installation makes the Internet connection for large online live events redundant and reliable—taking the pressure off everyone backstage.
