Cyber security is a major concern for power utilities to ensure the integrity of the power grid. ABB’s new multi-port industrial firewall comes with added redundancy options and faster link speeds for enhanced network security in industrial environments.

Maximized security for LAN and WAN communication
Within ABB’s AFS family of switches, routers and firewalls the new AFF660/AFF665 provides enhanced security features which make it the ideal solution for communication networks with high-speed routing requirements.

AFF660/AFF665 comes with high performance option over GbE WAN connections combined with enhanced security solutions which comply with utility and industrial standards. A range of up to 6 ports offer flexible communication with high link speeds over Fast Ethernet and Gigabit, which saves space and costs. Various redundancy options, combined with faster link speeds, provide enhanced network security with a minimum of network downtime. Thanks to the robust design and high operating temperature range AFF660/AFF665 is ideally suited for industrial environments. Furthermore, AFF660/AFF665 is compliant to the IEEE 1686 cyber security standard.

− Multiport firewall: 4 ports for FE and 2 ports for GbE connections (GbE only available for AFF665)
− Robust design for optimum performance in industrial environments
− Stateful inspection firewall with flexible rule generation
− L3 routing functionality (static, OSPF)
− Router redundancy for minimized downtime
− Increased router throughput and performance
− Wirespeed packet filtering using Access Control List (ACL),
rate limiters and ingress protection (DoS)
− Network address translation for:
– NAT 1:1
– Double-NAT
– Masquerading NAT
– Destination NAT and Hairpin NAT
− Simple intrusion detection
− Small form factor pluggable (SFP) support for fiber optic
and twisted pair gigabit cables
− Virtual Private Network (VPN)
