PipePatrol Cyber Security

Cyber security solution for pipeline management

  • Complementing solutions for pipeline monitoring and protection
  • Protection against cyber risks
  • Secure communication, fulfilling the latest standards

Secure server-rack with harddrives, switches and routers

Together with our partners we provide innovative technologies for secure communication in manufacturing and process automation and monitoring. Cyber risks arise from increased networking throughout the whole value chain which applies for the process industry as well and certainly for a data transmission solution for pipeline monitoring and leakage detection systems. In order to guarantee secure data transmission and the function of pipeline monitoring systems, the cyber security solutions are an essential part of the necessary scope of supply for any modern system.

Highlights

  • Maximum safety level with stateful inspection firewall and deep packet inspection
  • Easy and secure remote maintenance, thanks to VPN connection and IPsec protocol
  • High performance with a data throughput of up to 99 Mbps
  • Wide range of possible applications: as a compact DIN rail module, in PCI format or as a portable device with USB supply
  • Grows in line with your requirements, thanks to licenses and function extensions

Typical applications

  • Crude oil pipelines from oil fields to refineries
  • Multiproduct pipelines from refineries to tank farms
  • Subsea pipelines from FPSO units and platforms
  • Non-continuously operated transport pipelines (e.g. for jet fuel)
  • Water pipelines from desalination plants to cities
  • Natural gas pipelines
