Conclusion

• Technically feasible and with reasonable investment – Always

• High security and reliability without extra cost
• No network investments - Cost targets can be met in each cases
• Reliable – the cellular network itself is already redundant
• Modular system and compatible with other systems (combined networks)
• Enables preventative maintenance work - less unnecessary site visits
• Possibility for ”zone” based network management – less network downtime
and smaller fault areas
• Huge volume potential – 100% retrofit compatible
• When large scale system Centralized managament is needed = Viola Patrol

Basics

 Security does not only mean a compliance with

the specified security standard but the security
aims to secure the properties of the
organization against security risks
 Most important is to follow the basic instructions
from the communication system supplier
 The system supplier guarantees the channel
level End to End security (Encrypted bearer, like
tunnel + encryption)
Security
Instructions

Most important is to follow basic instructions

 Devices are installed carefully, locked cabinets
 Security updates from the supplier are installed
 Network inventory is up to date
 Unused services and interfaces are disabled
 Only VPN connections are allowed
 Firewall is enabled and configured correctly
 Passwords are changed often enough

...But private APN based system is much more more expensive solution
and requires contract with the operator

OpenVPN is the most recommended VPN technology in

Viola M2M systems. Most secure VPN tunneling
