Cybersecurity

Synapticon designs and develops according to widely held practices to avoid systematic failures, and performs threat modeling to act proactively against external threats. The attack surface on SOMANET Integro is quite small, as only the fieldbus and basic I/O functionality is available at the connectors. However, reliability of the fieldbus is dependent on ensuring that no physical access to the network is allowed by an attacker.

Attention: With physical network access, an attacker could attach a device that disrupts network traffic, either intermittently or on demand.

Internally, the device is protected from tampering with standard encryption and signing practices.
