Secure and reliable solution

Leveraging HMS' expertise, Ewon's remote connectivity solution is built with a comprehensive architecture and integrated security features to meet a wide range of industry requirements:

  • Talk2M global VPN service, with easy management of users and devices from the cloud.
  • Ewon gateways, with advanced hardware security.
  • Layered security strategy, as described here below.

    Using guidelines set forth by ISO 27002, IEC 62443 and NIST Cyber security Framework, Ewon has developed a professionally managed, hybrid, layered cybersecurity approach to protect devices, network and most importantly, industrial control systems:

    Layer 1 – Ewon gateway

    WAN/LAN Network segregation, local device authentication, and a physical switch for enabling/disabling remote VPN access.

    Layer 2 - Firewall

    A comprehensive firewall that covers IP addresses, ports, and per-protocol filtering. 

    Layer 3 - Traffic encryption

    All remote connectivity VPN sessions are encrypted using OpenVPN and the SSL/TLS protocols.

    Layer 4 - User and access management

    Unique user logins, configurable user rights to different devices, two-factor authentication, and a connection audit trail for traceability.

    Layer 5 - Network infrastructure

    Partnership with multiple globally redundant hosting partners, 24/7 monitoring and full transparency regarding the status of servers and services.

    Layer 6 - Policy compliance

    The Ewon solution is compatible with existing corporate security policies, firewall rules, and proxy server settings.

Not only is Ewon highly secure, but it is also very reliable, as guaranteed by our service level agreement, Ewon's high quality hardware and Talk2M's redundant infrastructure.

By balancing both security and ease of use, Ewon creates best-in-class remote solutions that meet the requirements of users and IT departments.


Key advantages for Factory IT Acceptance


  • Firewall Friendly: because no incoming connections are made to the device, there is no need to change firewall settings, routing policies, open ports or add exceptions. Little to no IT involvement is required. Ewon devices initiate a VPN tunnel to the Industrial cloud VPN servers by making an outbound connection across the factory LAN using ports that are commonly enabled (HTTPS port 443 or UDP port 1194).
  • Segregation: network segregation limits remote access only to the devices connected to the LAN of the Ewon gateway. Access to the factory network is prevented.
  • Connection Audit Trail: Ewon's solution provides traceability. A connection report is available for account administrators to check which users were connected to which devices,  when and for how long. This report can be a valuable tool to ensure that corporate remote solution policies are being followed.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication: along with the User/Password, it is possible to add a second layer of security with a key sent by SMS that changes at each login.
  • Local control: thanks to the use of a Key Switch or HMI physical button connected to the Ewon device’s digital input, the end user keeps full local control of whether the device is remotely accessible or not.
