Skkynet’s Secure Cloud Service Now Supports Modbus

Data from devices using the Modbus protocol
can now be made available in spreadsheets, databases, web browsers,
or the Internet of Things (IoT).
Skkynet Cloud Systems, Inc. (“Skkynet” or “the Company”) (OTCQB:
SKKY), a global leader in real-time cloud information systems, is
pleased to announce that its Secure Cloud Service™ now
supports Modbus, the world’s most widely used industrial network
protocol. Data from any Modbus TCP slave device can now be viewed
in a web browser, sent to big data analytics, logged to a database,
fed to a spreadsheet, or connected to virtually any location on the
IoT through Skkynet’s Secure Cloud Service.
“This is a significant advance in security and efficiency for
the Industrial Internet of Things,” said Paul Thomas, President of
Skkynet. “Management, engineering staff, and analytical teams can
now conveniently access data from virtually any Modbus device,
whether tucked away on the shop floor or installed somewhere out in
the field.”
Data from Modbus devices is typically accessed by plant
operators and engineers in conjunction with costly, complex,
industrial SCADA systems. Adding the Modbus protocol to the Secure
Cloud Service now offers a secure, efficient, and low-cost option
for any authorized user to monitor and interact with Modbus-enabled
equipment using off-the-shelf software like a web browser,
database, or spreadsheet. This approach is particularly well-suited
to mobile networks because it supports bandwidth-constrained
networks, instantly propagating values as they change, with no
polling overhead.
“Most people don’t believe the Secure Cloud Service is even
possible at any price point,” says Thomas, “That is, until they
spend 10 minutes trying our service.”
Security for each Modbus device is ensured through Skkynet’s
unique outbound-only system architecture, which keeps all firewalls
closed and does not expose any device or plant to the Internet. All
connected devices are isolated from each other, such that even if
someone gains unauthorized physical access to a connected device,
they cannot detect any other device on the system.
Skkynet’s Secure Cloud Service™ allows industrial and
embedded systems to securely network live data in real time from
any location. Secure by design, it requires no VPN, no open
firewall ports, no special programming, and no additional hardware.
It enables bidirectional supervisory control, integration, and
sharing of data with multiple users, and real-time access to
selected data sets in a web browser. The service is capable of
handling over 50,000 data changes per second per client, at speeds
just a few milliseconds over Internet latency.
