Defense-in-Depth: Protecting Access to Corporate Assets

No single security application or networking device can provide full security coverage in a production manufacturing environment. That’s why ILS Technology created secureWISE, an integrated solution using our ServiceNet network environment and our award-winning eCentre software application that work in concert to provide a “defense-in-depth” approach toward protecting access to corporate assets.

secureWISE provides a third-party-neutral, end-to-end secure collaborative environment, direct from the equipment on the factory floor to multiple remote users located anywhere around the globe.

It also meets the semiconductor industry’s International Sematech (ISMT) e-diagnostic guidelines for an e-manufacturing framework. Using a standard TCP/IP Internet connection, secureWISE controls access to a factory LAN through a single gateway, which authenticates, authorizes and audits all users and their actions. This centralized, Web-based security interface, essentially automates a factory’s IT security policies, while providing additional command-and-control functionality that ensures absolute protection of intellectual property residing on factory equipment and data servers within the factory LAN. The result is higher levels of capital utilization without risk to corporate intellectual property. These increased levels of utilization come from world recognized experts accessing factory-based equipment from centralized centers of competency to maintain, optimize, manage, deploy and monitor vital equipment metrics.
