Industrial Defender GauntletIndustrial Defender Gauntlet is the leading Cyber Risk Protection™ solution for secure access to substation equipment. The only security application specifically designed to support the NERC CIP compliance standards; Gauntlet detects and prevents unauthorized entry attempts, providing transparent, uninterrupted IP or dial-up substation access for authorized users. Gauntlet’s resilient, distributed architecture removes the single point of failure, giving technicians continuous, disaster-proof substation access. Gauntlet includes powerful management and audit reporting tools, comprehensive logging, and the fastest time to compliance of any solution.
Security-Driven ArchitectureGauntlet’s secure architecture is comprised of up to four interrelated software/hardware components (applications may include IP and/or Dial-up Gateways): Gauntlet ServerThe Gauntlet Server provides robust tools for management of user credentials and Gateway configuration, and generates the digital certificate and access rights required for access to secured devices. It offers powerful reporting features, including "one-click" AutoAudit™ reports, and collects logs from all elements of system. Access ClientThe Access Client is a Windows application running on the user’s computer, required to access the Dial-up or IP Gateway. The Access Client periodically connects to the Gauntlet Server to download the Security Package required for access to specific Gateway ports, after which it operates untethered from the Server. IP GatewayThe substation-hardened IP Gateway (RuggedCom RX1100 router/firewall/VPN) provides authentication, routing, communication, encryption, and full NERC CIP support. Dial-up GatewayThe Dial-up Gateway is based on Teltone’s industry standard Substation Line Sharing Switch, installed in 85% of North American substations. Functioning as a dial-up firewall, the Gateway is hardened for extreme environments, and provides up to eight individually programmable ports. Gauntlet’s distributed design provides greater resiliency than a typical centralized topology. Even if a control center or other component were to experience failure, unaffected parts of the system remain fully operational. Painless MigrationGauntlet supports legacy and current requirements while enabling a smooth transition to tomorrow’s technology. Mixed environments of Teltone legacy SLSS hardware and secure Gateways are supported, enabling a phased deployment; SLSS units are factory-upgradeable to the secure Gateway. Your existing IEDs, modems, and other communications infrastructure are undisturbed, minimizing capital expenditures and accelerating the path to NERC CIP compliance. Gauntlet Information
