Secomea secure remote access

Click2Contact

Secomea provides a remote access solution that addresses all the concerns of IT department ‘no remote access’ policies.

The end-to-end solution comes preconfigured for the user’s particular site and equipment. It is comprised of three components: SiteManager, the hardware interface, featuring a WAN uplink (3G optional), LAN ports and serial ports; GateManager, a cloud-based authentication server; and LinkManager client software that provides the licence that the GateManager must find, in association with a password, to grant access.

Security confidence is provided by defence-in-depth embracing AES/SSL encryption, two-factor authentication, and a firewall that filters traffic based on the nominated destination devices.

Secomea is easy and inexpensive to use - preconfiguration by the vendor means that user set-up time is under 15 min, and can be done by an electrician. Using a system comparable to DDNS, there is also no need for costly 3G static IP addresses.

The centrally managed authentication can be hosted by the user or the supplier via a cloud service that makes the secure connection between authorised users and devices. There is no need to worry about IP addresses, VPN protocols, TCP ports or encryption settings, a common source of error - this is all built-in.

Users are connected to a site device using their own access software as though they were directly connected. Secomea provides direct access to PLCs, HMIs, drives or almost anything with an ethernet, serial or USB data port - and with both the LAN and 3G uplinks, the failover function ensures the connection is maintained.
