Secomea Security (Optional) 87
7.2 Secomea Products
Note: Activation and deployment of the Secomea product features are optional. SiteManager,
GateManager, and LinkManager products are licensed, sold, and supported by Secomea and
Secomea’s licensed distributors. QuickPanel
+
customers wanting to activate licenses for
Secomea products can do so at www.secomea.com.
The available Secomea SiteManager (embedded on QuickPanel
+
),
GateManager, and LinkManager products are described as follows:
SiteManager is a device-monitoring front-end feature for multiple
industrial devices on a location. Working with GateManager and
LinkManager ensures uninterrupted and secure access to remote devices
over the Internet or a private Wide-area Network (WAN) for all users.
LinkManager is an off-the-shelf software component in Remote Device
Management Solutions from Secomea that provides security for external
programming and monitoring applications. LinkManager Mobile
provides similar functionality for mobile devices.
GateManager is the central component of Secomea’s Industry solution.
The GateManager M2M Server operates as a termination point for all
LinkManagers and SiteManagers. All connections and the encrypted
traffic between LinkManagers and devices controlled by SiteManagers
are handled by the GateManager, where all events are also logged.
Note: The GateManager is typically offered as a service hosted by Secomea. Users will receive an isolated
domain on the GateManager and benefit from central hosting and backup by Secomea. Or the
user can host their own GateManager.
Additionally, other devices such as PLCs and PCs (in addition to the
QuickPanel
+
) can be added as new agents on the Secomea network to be
part of Secured Communication using the Add Agents feature in the
SiteManager GUI. This can be achieved using an extended license feature
from Secomea.
Note: Secomea products installed throughout the application as suggested in Figure 87 do not
intrinsically provide the level of security associated with firewalls. The network architect
needs to satisfy himself or herself that the security level required by the application is present
in the overall implementation.
