The Tofino™ Industrial Security System is a new and unique, solution from
MTL and Byres Security that addresses the important issue of protecting
Industrial Networks from modern cyber-security attacks.



















Simple to Install



The conventional approach is to employ a standard, but highly complex, “IT-
style” firewall. Such methods are complicated and require highly-trained staff
to install and manage them. Tofino™ was designed with its environment, the
level of staffing and the needs of industry in mind. As a result, a field
technician can simply attach power to a Tofino™ appliance, connect two
network cables and then walk away – it’s that simple to install.

Centralised Control
From there, the company security staff can sit at a central management
platform (CMP) and configure and monitor any system with ease, reacting to
threats in a coordinated and company-wide manner. Best of all, the system
has the flexibility to adapt to a small plant with a single PLC, or meet the
needs of a multi-national organization with thousands of critical devices
scattered around the globe.

Defence-in-Depth
By deploying Tofino™ security appliances directly in front of each control
device (or group of devices) that needs protection, they provide SCADA and
process control companies with a layered security solution for their systems.
This in turn allows a “defence-in-depth” strategy to be used, so if a hacker or
virus penetrates or bypasses a main corporate firewall, they will still be faced
with an array of SCADA-focused security devices that need to be breached
before any damage can be done.
