The MACMONs are watching!
MACMONS Smart Meter Gateways – securely networked, reliably deployed. Visit us at Powertage 2026, Hall 4 / Booth J22, where we will show you how easily and securely you can build, manage, and monitor your OT and IT.
Network security for energy suppliers – reliable, regulatory compliant, and future-proof.
The requirements for energy utility companies are rising rapidly: increasing cyber threats, growing networking of OT and IT systems, and strict regulatory requirements by FOCP and NCSC, such as the ICT minimum standard or the Electricity Supply Act (StromVG). At the same time, operations must remain stable and secure at all times (Critical Infrastructure Outage Prevention).
With MACMON Network Access Control (NAC) from Hirschmann Automation and Control, we offer energy utilities a specialized security solution tailored specifically to these challenges.
Protection for critical infrastructure (OT & SCADA)
Whether it is a substation, control center, or smart grid: MACMON identifies and classifies all devices in the network – including unknown or unmanaged systems. Only authorized components are granted access. This allows you to reliably protect your critical infrastructure from unauthorized access.
Compliance simplified
MACMON actively supports you in complying with regulatory requirements. Through clear access controls, full transparency, and audit-proof logging, you meet key security specifications – traceable and auditable.
Seamless integration into existing networks
Existing infrastructure remains intact: MACMON operates agentless and manufacturer-independent. This is a decisive advantage, especially in established utility networks – without interfering with ongoing processes.
Full transparency in real time
Which devices are on the network? What communication is taking place? MACMON provides you with a complete overview of IT and OT components at all times – the basis for secure decisions.
Early detection instead of reaction
Unknown devices, misconfigurations, or suspicious activities are detected immediately. This allows you to eliminate threats before they become a problem.
