Field technicians require seamless access to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks to perform their duties effectively. These networks control essential infrastructure such as power grids, oil rigs and wind farms. Given the sensitivity and critical nature of these operations, any breach in security could have catastrophic consequences. The challenge is not just about providing access but ensuring that this access is secure, compliant with industry regulations and does not expose the network to potential cyber threats.

This is where Beam steps in as a powerful solution, tailored to meet the needs of field technicians working in the energy sector.

The Beam Solution: Secure, Transparent and Reliable

Traditional VPN solutions often fall short in remote environments, where connectivity can be unstable, and the risk of cyberattacks is higher. Configuring and managing secure connections in such settings can be complex and time-consuming, leaving room for human error.

Beam is designed to address these challenges by providing a robust, secure remote access solution tailored specifically for environments like remote energy installations. Here’s how Beam ensures that field technicians can perform their tasks without compromising network security:

1

Always-On Protection

Beam’s hypervisor-based architecture ensures that all network traffic from the field technician’s device is securely tunneled through encrypted VPN connections directly to the SCADA network. This always-on protection guarantees that the SCADA systems remain secure from unauthorized access while allowing technicians to access the necessary resources efficiently.

2

Operational Transparency

One of the standout features of Beam is its ability to operate transparently beneath the technician’s operating system. This means that while Beam secures the connection, it does so without interfering with the technician’s workflow. Technicians can focus on their tasks without having to worry about managing complex security configurations.

3

Seamless Integration with SCADA Systems

Beam integrates seamlessly with SCADA networks, ensuring that technicians can connect securely without the need for complex configurations or additional infrastructure. This compatibility is vital for maintaining the smooth operation of critical systems in remote locations.

4

Resilience in Remote Locations

Remote energy installations often face connectivity issues, but Beam’s resilient infrastructure ensures that even with fluctuating network conditions, secure access is maintained. This reliability is crucial for field technicians who need consistent access to SCADA systems to monitor and manage critical infrastructure.

Empowering Field Technicians with Beam

Beam offers a comprehensive solution that not only meets but exceeds the security requirements for remote access in the energy sector. By deploying Beam, energy companies can ensure that their field operations remain secure, compliant and efficient, ultimately safeguarding the critical infrastructure that powers our world.
