ANN ARBOR, MI – May 20, 2025 – DYNICS, a leader in industrial cybersecurity solutions, is proud to announce the latest enhancement to its flagship product, ICS360.Defender: Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) support for the Siemens S7 Protocol. This critical update empowers industrial operators with granular visibility and control over both legacy and modern Siemens PLC communications.
The newly integrated S7 DPI engine allows ICS360.Defender to inspect, classify, and enforce policy decisions at the protocol level, offering unmatched protection and insight into automation networks using Siemens S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200/1500 controllers.
Key benefits of the update include:
- Protocol-aware filtering for Siemens S7 read/write/control operations
- Support for both legacy (S7-200/300/400) and modern (S7-1200/1500) devices
- Real-time alerts and logging for unauthorized or anomalous commands
- Seamless integration with ICS360.Defender’s existing policy engine
“This update reflects our commitment to securing industrial systems with precision and depth,” said Jeff Smith, CTO at DYNICS. “With native support for Siemens S7, our customers can now monitor and restrict specific functions, users, or software communicating with their PLCs—ensuring operational integrity without disrupting performance.”
This enhancement is available as part of an upcoming ICS360.Defender firmware release.
