Edge Network(Monitoring)

NPorts (serial device servers) connect your mission-critical serial equipment to an Ethernet network, giving you real-time access to PLCs, meters, and sensors from anywhere. But connectivity alone is no longer enough—today’s industrial networks demand security, efficiency, and compliance as baseline requirements, not optional extras.

Why Choose NPort G2?

The standard for connectivity has evolved. Security, efficiency, and compliance are no longer optional.

A Long-term Commitment to Your Edge

Secure your mission-critical networks for the long run. Powered by our self-developed ASIC, the NPort G2 Series minimizes supply-chain risks to guarantee lasting availability.

Built-in Web Console: Troubleshooting in the Field Without the Guesswork

The NPort G2 and MGate G2 web-based consoles are accessible from any browser with no installation needed. Real-time traffic visibility and one-click diagnostics tell you what went wrong and where. One-click system log export handles the paperwork. When a machine is down, the last thing you need is more uncertainty.

7 Security Checks: Is Your Edge Network Equipped for Cyberthreats?

In this video, we walk through seven real security scenarios every industrial network faces: default credentials that leave the door wide open, firmware that could be tampered with at start up, data transmissions vulnerable to wiretapping, unauthorized devices connecting to your network, configuration changes with no audit trail, and device authentication that doesn't scale.

Check Your Connectivity Readiness

Benchmark your current device security against industry standards and estimate the potential value of modernization.

Edge Security Assessment

How defensible is your edge? Evaluate vulnerabilities in your current setup.

1. Login Security

Can anyone log in to your devices using default account and passwords (like "admin" or "1234") and get full access permissions?

Requirement: Forced Credential Update & Role-based Authorization
2. Serial Data Encryption

Is the data traveling between your serial device and the network readable by anyone with a wiretap?

Requirement: Encryption / Authentication / Certificate
3. Access Control

Can any random computer on the network connect to your critical serial devices?

Requirement: IP Whitelisting / Access Control List (ACL) / Service Disable
4. Antitampering

If a hacker installs fake firmware on your device, will the device refuse to run it?

Requirement: Secure Boot/Hardware Root of Trust
5. Digital Footprints

If someone changes a setting or reboots a device at 3 AM, will you have a record of who did it?

Requirement: System Log / Incident Logging / Timestamp
6. Mass Management

Do you have a central way to manage user accounts and event logs, or do you manage these device-by-device?

Requirement: RADIUS, TACACS+ / Remote Syslog / RFC format
7. Security Updates

Have your devices received any security patches or firmware updates in the last 24 months?

Requirement: Vendor vulnerability management

Maintenance Tax
Unmanaged Nodes: Conventional setups require device-by-device patching and troubleshooting.
5 Hrs/Year: Average time spent per device on manual maintenance tasks.
USD 60/hr: Average fully loaded cost for a skilled OT technician.
Formula: Unmanaged Nodes × 5 hrs × USD 60/hr
Formula: Unmanaged Nodes × 5 hrs × USD 60/hr

Regulatory Exposure
As cybersecurity regulations tighten globally, your customers' unmanaged edge nodes expose them to significant compliance risks.
Regulatory Fines: Typically 1 to 4% of annual revenue depending on jurisdiction and sector.
Contractual Penalties: Breaches of service contracts triggered by security incidents.
Market Access: Import/export restrictions that could bar you from key markets.
Formula: Revenue × 2.5%
Annual Cyber Risk
ALE Model: Probabilistic annual loss estimate based on OT breach cost benchmarks.
OT Dependency: Higher dependency means greater financial impact per incident.
0.4%: Baseline breach probability for unpatched edge environments.
Formula: Revenue × OT Dependency % × Exposure Rate × 0.4%
Formula: Revenue × OT Dependency % × Exposure Rate × 0.4%
