Product Description

The Genua XSi Genubox is a dedicated, hardened security appliance that acts as a secure gateway or firewall, often deployed to separate critical operational technology (OT) networks from less secure IT networks, or to establish secure remote access.

It is built upon the principle of Security by Separation, using a tightly controlled, custom operating system and hardware architecture to minimize the attack surface. The “XSi” (eXtra Secure Industrial) designation suggests it is built to withstand extreme security threats, making it suitable for SCADA, power generation, and other critical infrastructure.

Its core functions include:

• Stateful Inspection Firewall: Filters network traffic based on strict security policies.

• Virtual Private Networking (VPN): Establishes secure, encrypted tunnels for remote connections (e.g., for maintenance).

• Protocol Filtering: Often capable of inspecting industrial protocols (like Modbus, Siemens S7, etc.) to ensure only safe commands pass through.

Product Parameters

Product Advantages

• Highest Security Assurance: Certified to rigorous government and defense standards, offering a much higher assurance level than standard commercial firewalls.

• Air Gap Emulation: Effectively segments networks, creating a highly controlled communication path between IT and OT systems, mimicking the security of a physical air gap.

• Industrial Hardening: Designed to inspect and control specific industrial protocols, recognizing anomalies and protecting against attacks directed at PLCs and control devices.

• Tamper Resistance: Built with physical and logical security mechanisms to prevent unauthorized manipulation or installation of malicious code.

Precautions

• Complexity: Due to its high-security features, installation and configuration are highly specialized and typically require personnel trained in high-assurance networking and Genua’s specific operating environment.

• Policy Management: Security policies must be meticulously designed and maintained. An overly restrictive policy can halt critical plant operations, while an overly permissive one defeats the purpose of the high-assurance device.

• Licensing and Updates: The security efficacy relies on timely software updates and maintenance. Ensure all licensing and support agreements are kept current.

• Power Redundancy: For critical infrastructure, the device should be connected to a reliable, redundant power supply to ensure continuous operation, as a failure can segment the network and halt production.

Product Applications

The XSi Genubox is deployed in environments where network security is absolutely non-negotiable and requires formal certification:

• Critical Infrastructure (KRITIS): Protecting power grids, water utilities, gas pipelines, and nuclear facilities.

• Industrial Control Systems (ICS/SCADA): Creating secure zones between enterprise networks and plant floor networks containing PLCs, HMIs, and DCS components.

• Defense and Government: Securing classified networks and establishing highly protected VPN connections for remote site access.

• Secure Remote Maintenance: Allowing authorized external technicians to securely access control systems without exposing the entire network.
