ICP DAS has launched the Advanced IIoT Edge Controller: WISE-2841M by using the next generation, high performance computing and lower power consumption hardware platform. WISE-2841M not only inherits the core principles of "Easy to use, no programming" from the original WISE series controller, but also supports a variety of information security mechanisms and encrypted communication protocols. According to different levels of information security protection requirements from applications, WISE-2841M can provide the information security functions as following:
 

Network Security：WISE-2841M features the VPN communication function (supports 4 VPN protocols : PPTP, L2TP, OpenVPN and SoftEther), which allows users to set up a secure communication tunnel between WISE and the internet, and the security of the network through VPN can also prevent the WISE and its connected I/O modules from being invaded by external threats.
 

System Security：WISE-2841M supports the HTTPS encrypted communication protocol, which can encrypt the communication content between the browser and WISE to protect the settings and operations performed on WISE from being interpreted. SNMP v3 encryption communication protocol and the authentication mechanism of user management are also provided to ensure the security of connections between WISE and IT system to ensure the security.
 

Data Security：WISE-2841M is equipped with a microSD card, which can be used to perform the periodic or event driven data log operations for the I/O modules connected to WISE. The data log files can be automatically sent back to back-office through the FTPS protocol, or actively downloaded by user through SFTP, FTPS or web protocols. The transmission of data log files is protected by TLS encryption to ensure the data log files not being captured or tampered during the transmission process.
 

Identity Authentication Security：WISE-2841M supports the function of Blacklist/Whitelist, which allows users to filter and exclude the accessible domains. It can also perform the dynamic blacklist function to automatically add the IP address with too many wrong login attempts to WISE to the blacklist so that it can protect WISE from the brute force password attacks.
 

 
The Advanced IIoT Edge Controller - WISE-2841M inherits the features of the original WISE series controllers: perform system setting and monitoring by browser, powerful IF-THEN-ELSE logic operation capability, connection ability to a variety of I/O modules, support data computing and real-time message notification functions. In addition to the greatly improved information security mechanism, the hardware component and the software features provided have also been enhanced：
