The available Secomea SiteManager (embedded on QuickPanel
+
), GateManager, and
LinkManager products are described as follows:
SiteManager
is a device-monitoring front-end feature for multiple industrial devices on
a location. Working with GateManager and LinkManager, it ensures uninterrupted and
secure access to remote devices over the Internet or a private Wide-area Network (WAN)
for all users.
LinkManager is an off-the-shelf software component in Remote Device Management
Solutions from Secomea that provides security for external programming and monitoring
applications.
LinkManager Mobile
provides similar functionality for mobile devices.
GateManager
is the central component of Secomea’s Industry solution. The
GateManager M2M Server operates as a termination point for all LinkManagers and
SiteManagers. All connections and the encrypted traffic between LinkManagers and
devices controlled by SiteManagers are handled by the GateManager, where all events are
also logged.
Note
The GateManager is typically offered as a service hosted by Secomea. Users will
receive an isolated domain on the GateManager and benefit from central hosting and
back-up by Secomea. Or, the user can host their own GateManager.
Additionally, other devices such as PLCs and PCs (in addition to the QuickPanel
+
) can be
added as new agents on the Secomea network to be part of Secured Communication using
the
Add Agents feature in the SiteManager GUI. This can be achieved using extended
license feature from Secomea.
Note Secomea products installed throughout the application as suggested by the
following figure do not intrinsically provide the level of security associated with
firewalls. The network architect needs to satisfy himself or herself that the security level
required by the application is present in the overall implementation.
