Need a new dimension of security in motor control and power conversion?
The iC7 series lets intelligence set you free, with drives that act as sensors, giving you access to more data. This freedom is only possible due to unique security-by-design, which increases your security against cyber-attacks using a hardware crypto chip, protected firmware and encrypted data transfers.
These security features in the drive or converter make it easier for you to secure your systems and your data, giving you a secure component you can rely on.
Prerequisite for digitalization
Cybersecurity excellence is always a prerequisite for digitalization, and therefore also for well-functioning Industrial IoT. Networked and cloud-connected drives and converters are here and ready to bring your operations into the future. With increasing connectivity, the importance of security is evident, as non-secure systems can pose a significant risk.
iC7 series is designed to meet demanding requirements for security using hardware-based security solutions and other best-practice concepts adopted in the industry. The drives and converters are equipped with a hardware crypto chip, which is implemented in all elements of monitoring and communication between the drive or converter, the network, and the cloud:
- Tamper-proof hardware, which prevents unauthorized alteration
- Protection against physical and side-channel attacks
To reach the highest level of security, the iC7 series includes protection in both the drive and the software.
Asymmetric data encryption
Using public and private keys (known as asymmetric encryption) ensures that the data being exchanged between devices is authentic and that it has not been tampered with. It is a way to establish verifiable trust between devices.
The exchange of public keys between devices allows them to authenticate the sender of content and verify the origin of data. This is the way to create verifiable cryptographic identities.
World-first crypto chip hardware in the iC7 series reduces risk and allows you to connect with confidence. For even deeper analytics and system visualization – in a safe environment. The first-ever secure-by-design drive gives you better protection than ever before.
