2 Device description
The devices of the FL MGUASRD 1000 series are security routers for industrial use, with
integrated stateful packet inspection firewall. They provide high data throughput and a pow -
erful firewall and are suitable for distributed protection of production cells or individual ma -
chines against manipulation.
NAT router
As a router or gateway, the device connects subnets or network zones. A separate IP address
is configured for each network zone, via which the device can be reached in the network.
Using the NAT functionality (IP masquerading, 1:1 NAT, Port forwarding), separate ma
-
chines (PLCs) or multiple subnets with the same IP configuration can easily be integrated
into an existing network without having to change the IP configuration of the machine or the
subnets.

Security by Design
All mGuard devices feature the proven mGuard Security Technology and have thus been
designed from the ground up to meet network security requirements. The devices use a
powerful firewall. System and network services have been hardened.
Vulnerabilities - quickly closed (PSIRT)
All used components are continuously monitored via the PSIRT process ( Product Security
Incident Response Team ). Detected or reported security gaps are immediately analyzed
and, if necessary, closed (see PSIRT ).
Thanks to the integrated mGuard Security Technology, the devices provide decentralized
protection of production cells or individual machines against manipulation.
