In order to secure every thing you must connect to every thing. Our products support multiple forms of Internet and SCADA connectivity including Ethernet, WiFi, 3G/4G, Serial (RS-232/485) and DI/DO (Digital Input/Digital Output). They also come available in industrial form factors with DIN rail mount, desktop mount, 24V DC power input and with support for wide temperature for the most rugged deployments.
The Secure Digital Platform for IoT and Industry 4.0
The simplest and most secure platform for connecting your users and devices
Anatomy of a Secure Digital Platform
Security
Security is the key to a successful digital IoT transformation. Endian has been a leader in in creating easy-to-use security products for over 15 years.
- Connect Platform combines secure remote access and comprehensive user/device permission management
- 4i Edge devices provide powerful network security including network segmentation, complete firewall control, deep-packet IPS/IDS system and layer-7 filtering capabilities
Endian achieves IEC 62443 Certification
Endian is proud to announce that the Secure Digital Platform (Switchboard and 4i Edge X) are IEC 62443 certified for both 62443-3-3 (System Security) and 62443-4-2 (Component Security) at SL2 security level. This certification ensures that customers using the Endian Secure Digital Platform are able to meet or exceed the industry standard for industrial and automation cybersecurity.

Orchestration
Given the number of industrial devices and the geographical span of global businesses, you need the tools to make deployment and management easy. The Endian Connect Platform gives you multiple Zero Touch deployment options including Plug & Connect and USB stick options to cover online and offline remote sites. In addition, it includes Endian Management Center which provides ongoing device configuration management.
Data Collection
Collecting data from your IoT devices can enable companies to "see" their data in a new way that enables real-time services (support, management, etc) and creates a product feedback loop to enable faster and better product development.
4i Edge devices act as a collector of SCADA data using commons protocols like Modbus (TCP/RTU), OPCUA, and Siemens S7. It then securely transmits the data to the Switchboard for central storage.
The Switchboard (server) securely stores and aggregates data and provides customizable dashboards to view the data in any way desired
Monitoring
Industrial infrastructure is critical to the core operations of business and requires the highest levels of availability. The Connect Platform provides integrated monitoring capabilities to monitor and alert on virtually anything so business can react instantly to potential problems.
Analytics
Once you have all of your industrial data aggregated, the next step is to analyze the data in order identify patterns and anomalies that can help predict failures and solve product issues before they become major problems. The Connect Platform can provide dashboards with completely customizable interfaces to show users the data they want to see in the way they want to see it.
Computing
Containers are revolutionizing the IT world with the concept of wrapping applications into a portable and highly available system. The new Connect Platform and Endian 4i Edge X product will now support installing and managing containers at the industrial network edge. This will give businesses unparalleled flexibility to deploy applications in new ways like moving apps to the edge or even using hybrid apps with client software running on your edge appliance saving massive amounts of time and money!

Development Access (API)
The Connect Platform offers a secure API which can be utilized to build applications that interface or utilize data from within the Switchboard (e.g. support portal, internal applications, etc.).
User Management
Create and manage users and assign them to groups to create role-based access to remote sites and their endpoint devices.
Gateway Management
Create and manage devices and assign them to groups to create role-based access from users and user groups. Remotely provision gateways using mutliple zero-touch options including Plug & Connect and USB-based deployment.
Endpoint Management
Provision easy access to your endoint devices for each remote site. Assign application profiles to launch applications with a single click from Connect App. Every single endpoint can be reached directly or through its own Virtual IP address.
Application Management
Define any application to make it accessible to users. Integrated application run inside the browser on Connect Web client (no third-party apps required). Application profile assignment to launch applications with a single click from Connect App.
Mobile Access
Utilize Connect Web client which provides support for integrated applications (RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet, HTTP/S) that run inside the browser and require no external applications. Support for virtually every platform including desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
Zero-Touch Deployment
Multiple zero-touch deployment options are supported including Plug & Connect and USB which allow administrators to centrally provision device configurations that automatically get applied to devices in the field.
Data Collection
