Connected thinking, smart protection: ENERCON Shield provides maximum security, transparency and efficiency in your digital operating infrastructure.
In the face of growing cyber threats and ever more stringent legal requirements (NIS2), digital resilience is becoming an indispensable basis for secure, legally compliant and economically robust wind farm operation.
ENERCON Shield is the next-generation firewall (NGFW) solution and will increase the security of all ENERCON wind farms from 2025 onwards. Combining real-time detection, automated updates and systemic redundancy, ENERCON Shield reduces the risk of downtimes and thus protects you from economic losses.
Full integration into ENERCON SCADA Edge also offers seamless incorporation into your existing control environment – enabling you to operate your wind turbines securely and with a maximum of transparency, control and efficiency.
With ENERCON Shield you benefit from the following advantages:
Solution is optimised for ENERCON wind farms – with simple installation and management from a single provider
Supports compliance with legal requirements and security standards for critical infrastructures (NIS2)
Active protection, early identification and automated responses to anomalies and attacks thanks to intrusion prevention system (IPS), as required by NIS2
Minimises interruptions in operation and data loss with real-time monitoring, IPS and redundancy
Traceable, protected communication within the wind farm with network segmentation and logging
Functional Overview:
Network segmentation: Divides the network, isolating critical systems to control threats.
Intrusion prevention system (IPS): Proactively monitors and blocks potential threatsin real time.
OT application control: Identifies and limits unauthorised operational technology processes within the network.
Real-time NOC & SOC logging: Provides logs of network and security events, enabling rapid detection and response.
Automatic software updates: Software is updated automatically to the latest versionto protect against the latest threats.
Intelligent WAN management (SD-WAN): Ensures fast, reliable data transmission,with reduced latency.
Customisable cybersecurity – you choose the level of protection.
