Chapter 1      Digital Module Operation in a Control System
Secure Access to the System
To secure access to a Logix 5000 controller, Compact 5000 EtherNet/IP 
adapter, or I/O module by authorized users only, consider the 
following options:
• Password protect the source and execution of the control program.
• Deploy EtherNet/IP devices in accordance with recommended 
architectures and concepts. See the Converged Plantwide Ethernet 
(CPwE) Design and Implementation Guide, publication 
ENET-TD001.
• Implement physical barriers, such as locked cabinets.
To secure access to the system, consider the following options:
• Follow industry best practices to harden your PCs and servers, including 
anti-virus/anti-malware and application whitelisting solutions. 
The recommendations are published at the Rockwell Automation® 
technical support center in Knowledgebase article Rockwell 
Automation Customer Hardening Guidelines, #546987.

• Develop and deploy backup and disaster recovery policies and 
procedures. Test backups on a regular schedule.
• Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and systems, 
and make sure that they are not accessible from the Internet.
• Locate control system networks and devices behind firewalls and isolate 
them from the business network.
