SCADA

eZEio is a SCADA system designed for the Internet

Typical SCADA systems were not designed for the hostile Internet environment. The process of securing these systems is costly and results in uncertain security.The eZEio SCADA system is secure in itself, and makes remote access easier than ever!

eZE System makes a secure Internet appliance that solves a critical problem in remote command and control applications: How can I place my system on the internet without it being susceptible to hackers? The typical approach is to modify a PC based system behind a firewall and "lock it down" or provide software measures so that it is more secure. Many businesses provide virus and security services for these systems; it is a multi-billion dollar problem, but nobody can fully secure a system against an accidental introduction of an attack by an innocent user of the PC, and all of these systems leave visible ports open on the internet that are subject to attack.

The eZEio controller opens no ports. It is invisible to the Internet. It does not provide a means for an innocent operator to introduce a harmful virus to the system. It is less costly than a PC, is more robust, and stores data in a backed-up secure off-site database for review anytime. Maintenance is less costly too, because it does not require human intervention for upgrading, patching and verifying security performance. The right answer is not to patch as attacks become more sophisticated: It is to start with a system where security was the first concern, and the system was built around these concepts.
