High-performance rack-mounted industrial security appliance with 11 physical network segments and the complete PRO/FW feature set. The Defender 8429 is the performance-upgraded variant of the 8029 — same 19" 1U form factor and port layout but with increased processing power for high-throughput OT environments.
9x Gigabit LAN Ethernet ports plus 2x SFP for fiber optic or additional RJ45 connectivity, with VLAN support for virtually unlimited logical segmentation. Full PRO/FW capabilities: Deep Packet Inspection on Ethernet/IP CIP and Modbus with auto-learn, virtual patching via Snort and Suricata IPS, advanced VPN (WireGuard, OpenSSL, IPsec), RADIUS/LDAP/AD authentication, DHCP server, policy scheduling, captive portal, advanced routing (RIP, BGP), load balancing with multi-WAN, traffic shaping and high availability redundancy.
Designed for large-scale OT-SDWAN deployments and high-bandwidth critical infrastructure environments where maximum throughput is essential. Configuration via web GUI, RESTful API and CLI. Optional central management via the Anybus Cybersecurity Console.
