RUGGEDCOM APE1808

End-to-end security for critical infrastructure.

Cybersecurity regulations governing industrial control systems in electric power, transportation, oil and gas, etc. are designed to ensure high reliability and availability of these critical networks in the face of rapidly rising cyberthreats. To address their unique challenges, Siemens has partnered globally with cybersecurity leaders and combined its rugged hardware and OT (operational technology) expertise with their software.

The Ruggedcom APE1808 is an industrial application processing engine with an Intel quad core CPU that plugs into the modular Ruggedcom RX1500 series routers. It offers a standards-based platform to deploy next-generation firewall, intrusion prevention system, intrusion detec¬tion system, secure access management, and other advanced security applications at the OT edge.

This integrated approach ensures ease of maintenance from a hardware as well as a software perspective and sustains its relevance over the long term.
