UserGate Launches Rugged Industrial NGFW uNGFW on X10 Platform Rated for -40 to +60 °C

UserGate has introduced the uNGFW next-generation firewall running on the new X10 hardware platform designed specifically for protecting industrial control systems and OT environments. The appliance replaces the discontinued X1 model and is engineered to operate reliably in harsh conditions ranging from −40 to +60 °C with up to 80 % humidity, allowing direct DIN-rail installation inside automation cabinets at substations, extraction sites, and fuel stations. It provides deep inspection for 35 industrial protocols including Modbus, OPC UA, Profinet IO and S7Comm, with intrusion-prevention rules capable of validating individual commands on six critical protocols to block unauthorized actions without requiring equipment shutdowns. Hardware redundancy features two independent power inputs and a bypass function that maintains network connectivity during device failure, while maximum power draw remains at 24 W. Throughput reaches 1780 Mbit/s with support for up to 500 000 concurrent connections, and centralized management via UserGate’s existing console enables unified policies across distributed sites. The platform was developed by UserGate’s own design bureau and is manufactured in Saint Petersburg; it is already available for ordering and testing through company partners.
