Protect Cyber Assets at the Substation Level

Cybectec's SMP Substation Gateway helps utilities meet NERC CIP requirements by providing a secure access point to substation devices.

The SMP Gateway's sophisticated software implements the following security features

  • Built-in firewall—all TCP/IP ports are blocked, excepting those required for control center communications and SMP status monitoring
  • Built-in VPN—all communications between the SMP and the SMP Tools, including the passthrough communications mode, use an encrypted VPN tunnel
  • Modem connection management—modem access can be enabled or disabled by the control center, all accesses are logged and limited to authorized users
  • Passthrough managementpassthrough access can be enabled or disabled by the control center, all accesses are logged and limited to authorized users
  • Authentication—users can be authenticated locally, by the SMP, or by a corporate authentication server such as Microsoft Active Directory, for strong 2-factor authentication
  • Account management—strong passwords, individual user accounts, user groups, and detailed group permissions protect critical system functions from unauthorized access
  • Access management—all access attempts are logged, and accounts are locked out in the event of multiple failed attempts
  • Auditing—SMP logs can be retrieved remotely for auditing

 

With its advanced security features, the Cybectec SMP Gateway offers utilities all the benefits of IED Integration within a secure NERC-compliant framework.
