Cyberattacks Countermeasures

This section briefly describes

FactoryTalk® Remote Access™

countermeasures to help protect against some common cyberattacks.

Brute force detection

After a few unsuccessful sign in attempts, Access Server blocks all the incoming public IP addresses for a few minutes.

This measure makes brute force JSON Web Token (JWT) attack attempts ineffective.

Code Signing

FactoryTalk® Remote Access™

application binaries are signed with a private key. This confirms that users can validate the authenticity and integrity of

FactoryTalk® Remote Access™

applications.

Man-in-the-middle

Access Server, Web APIs, and Frontend-Runtime connections all use end-to-end encryption (explained earlier) that make man-in-the-middle attacks not possible.
