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.
