Cybersecure IEC 61850 Testing

Computers used for testing in IEC 61850 environments represent an attack vector on the devices in the substation network and threaten the substation and SCADA system security.

StationScout and IEDScout on the MBX1 or RBX1 platform enable highly secure testing of IEC-61850-based SCADA and substation automation systems (SAS). The hardened test sets effectively protect your substation and isolate your PC from the vulnerable network and its devices. You get an overview of all assets in the network, automated testing procedures, and you can analyze IEDs in detail.

Benefits of this solution

Cybersecure hardware

The hardened MBX1 and RBX1 platforms feature rigid cybersecurity characteristics: With a crypto-processor, full-disk encryption, and secure production and development processes they ensure the highest level of security during testing. IEC 62443 certification is in progress.

One attack vector eliminated

You never know whether one of your engineering PCs contains malware. These PCs represent possible gateways for cyberattacks in your substation. The MBX1 and RBX1 platforms isolate your PC from the substation network effectively.

Two solutions in one

Two solutions in one: Each StationScout license also includes an IEDScout license for MBX1 or RBX1. The two software solutions form a perfect team: StationScout provides an overview of all network devices and automated testing procedures, whereas IEDScout analyzes your IEDs in detail.

Complete asset security documentation

While testing, StationScout retrieves detailed asset information from all IEC 61850 devices in the network like serial numbers and firmware versions. This information can be exported for use in various asset inventory databases.
