CIP Security
CIP Security™ is a standard, open-source communication method that helps to
provide a secure data transport across an EtherNet/IP network.
The secure data transport is used between certain connected devices to help
protect the devices from threats posed by unauthorized users with malicious
intent.
CIP Security uses encryption to secure communication on an EtherNet/IP
network, resulting in greater data integrity and confidentiality.
Rockwell Automation uses the following products to implement CIP Security:
• FactoryTalk® Policy Manager
•FactoryTalk Linx
• Studio 5000® Design Environment
• CIP Security-enabled Rockwell Automation® products, for example, the
product described in this publication
