SEL equipment makes it easy to use and manage strong passwords. You can use virtually all printable ASCII characters and a password manager, such as KeePass or Lastpass, to generate long, complex passwords for each unique login you have.
SEL provides a comprehensive approach to effective password management. In addition to offering services to review security plans, policies, and procedures, SEL also creates solutions for the implementation of effective password management that include products and training.
The SEL-3620 Ethernet Security Gateway and SEL-3622 Security Gateway are solutions that secure all Ethernet and serial communications between the enterprise and remote networks. These solutions manage passwords for and secure access to IEDs with an authentication proxy that integrates Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) for multifactor authentication.
In addition to SEL products and solutions, SEL University also provides real-world, hands-on cybersecurity training to teach organizations how to implement strong electronic access controls using SEL solutions for protecting critical assets.
