Industrial control systems demand more than just standard security—they need resilience, transparency, and ease of management across segmented environments. With the release of MetaDefender Industrial Firewall v3.2.0, OPSWAT introduces powerful new enhancements to meet the evolving needs of critical infrastructure and OT environments.
Secure Connectivity with VPN Protocols
Version 3.2.0 now supports IPsec and OpenVPN, enabling secure, encrypted communication across isolated or segmented OT networks. Whether it’s for vendor connections, or multi-site integration, this update ensures data-in-transit remains protected from cyberthreats.
Deep Packet Inspection Inside VPN Tunnels
Secure visibility shouldn’t end at the tunnel. This release lets you apply DPI (deep packet inspection) policies within VPN sessions, helping OT teams maintain granular control over protocol usage and traffic behavior—even when it's encrypted.
Streamlined Configuration Management
Managing multiple industrial firewalls just got easier. MetaDefender Industrial Firewall now allows users to import and export configurations in the format of text files, streamlining deployment, replication, and backup processes across environments.
The human-readable text format allows administrators to quickly troubleshoot and audit settings, while the import functionality enables teams to clone or restore configurations for faster, more consistent device setup.
Key Features in This Release
- Support for IPsec and OpenVPN protocols
- Import/export configuration in text format
- Full device configuration export
- Easy cloning and restoration of firewall settings
- DPI policies enforceable within VPN tunnels
Whether you're securing a single facility or managing dozens of distributed sites, MetaDefender Industrial Firewall helps simplify operations while strengthening your OT network’s defense posture.
