Network protection

The Tofino Xenon security system is both versatile and rugged, allowing it to withstand the harshest of environments, making it suitable for any industry in which maximum data security is required.

With Tofino's Plug-n-Protect technology, Xenon is simple to implement. The application can be installed in a live network with no special training, pre-configuration or changes to the network itself, eradicating expensive downtime.

The industrial firewall's security stems from stateful packet inspection (SPI) that not only examines a packet based on its header, as with traditional static filtering, but rather packet contents, to establish more information than simply source and destination. SPI tracks each connection - traversing all interfaces of the firewall and ensuring its validity.

Furthermore, as an added security measure against port scanning, the SPI closes off ports until connection to a specific one is requested.

In addition to the Xenon's in built features, optional deep packet inspection (DPI) is available. This feature allows the user to implement detailed filters within their system. Tofino’s flexible architecture goes beyond traditional firewall security by providing tailored protection zones to protect critical system components.
