Docker Technology Unlocks New Security and IIoT Potential

A practical example: different router ports can be assigned to enable communication between MES/SCADA systems and machine controllers, visualization platforms, or security components like anomaly and intrusion detection systems. MB connect line’s routers also feature integrated Docker environments, allowing security tools and sensors to be embedded directly. This ensures that machines remain protected not only upon delivery but also throughout their operational lifecycle – thanks to continuous monitoring and threat response. Docker technology also opens up broad possibilities in data pre-processing for IIoT applications.
Even older machines that lack modern connectivity features can be securely integrated into digital infrastructures – without the need for additional hardware or communication channels.

Centralized Management and Access Control with mymbCONNECT24

Completing the portfolio is the mymbCONNECT24 Remote Service Portal (RSP), a locally installed management platform for secure administration. Internal VPN connections allow machines and local endpoints to communicate securely – essential for compliance, data protection, and operational optimization. A key feature: role-based access control. Only authorized personnel gain access to relevant parts of the system – in line with the “least privilege” principle, a cornerstone of IT security.

Conclusion: A Security Ecosystem for Smart Manufacturing

With MB connect line’s modular security ecosystem, both internal and external communication processes can be securely managed.
The solutions combine access control, network segmentation, security monitoring, and data pre-processing into a cohesive concept – tailored to the needs of machine builders and plant operators alike. Under the guiding principle “Secure Your Factory,” MB connect line delivers future-proof technologies that embed OT security from the ground up – whether in the design of new machinery or the retrofit of existing systems. You could also put it this way: Be part of a secure factory.
