Belden boosts industrial network security with Byres Security acquisition

BELDEN has acquired Byres Security to boost its capabilities in protecting industrial automation systems from cyber attack.

The Tofino security technology from Byres is a key part of the acquisition, as Belden looks to protect its customers from a increasing influx of PLC vulnerabilities.

Stuxnet, for example, was a high profile cyber attack against industrial targets. There is now high interest in improving cyber security at both the plant and management levels of organisations.
