As reliance on connected field technology grows, layered endpoint security supports a modern grid without sacrificing real-time communication, visibility, or efficiency. Security beyond the office for utility field teamsMobile computers are one of the most common technologies deployed by utilities. Field devices require the same level of security as the critical infrastructure they connect to and support, particularly as utility teams operate across dynamic settings. Rugged devices support secure fieldwork through features such as modular expansion and multifactor authentication through fingerprint or smart card readers. Building a layered security system for field teamsTo protect rugged devices at the edge, utilities are turning to layered security systems.
