Bayshore Networks has announced the addition of SingleKey Industrial Edition to its flagship SingleKey Layer 7 application firewall product family. SingleKey IE comes with standard Layer 7 application protection capabilities and custom-built features that support SCADA protocols commonly used in industrial control systems. With SingleKey IE, Bayshore is first to market with a full Layer 7 Application Firewall to secure critical civil infrastructure.

"Stuxnet was a major wake-up call for governments to get serious about information assurance on their critical civil infrastructure including electrical grids, nuclear plants, building automation, transportation, water systems, etc. At Bayshore, we are excited to introduce SingleKey Industrial Edition to help keep our nation's critical civil infrastructure secure and available," said Francis Cianfrocca, Founder and CEO of Bayshore Networks. "Much SCADA-based infrastructure is not directly connected to the Internet, making it difficult to protect with traditional web-based firewall and intrusion prevention systems. The multi-protocol SingleKey Industrial Edition supports web, non-web, and SCADA applications and is uniquely positioned to provide information assurance to industrial control systems."

Some notable features of SingleKey Industrial Edition include:

1) Protecting interfaces between IP network and non-IP industrial controllers/sensors
2) Uniform secure access from control networks to sensors
3) Providing secure connection points between SCADA environments and IP networks
4) Translating SCADA data formats into IP protocols
5) Full Layer 7 protection and analysis of all SCADA Commands (language and traffic)
6) Encryption of all traffic transmitted to and from SCADA devices
7) Layer 7 Firewall protection for SCADA devices/sensors
8) Enforcement of policies for SCADA commands
9) Remote management of sensors

SingleKey Industrial Edition is currently in controlled release with a number of beta customers in the government vertical.
