AutoSave Protection and Recovery Solutions
MDT AutoSave addresses a critical aspect of security not addressed by data access & network monitoring applications: The Intellectual Property in your Device Programs
Regardless of how a threat occurs, MDT AutoSave gives you the ability to:
PREPARE
Secure your program intellectual property
AutoSave saves a copy of each program revision in a central repository. Access to program folders and programs is managed via a flexible privileging system.
DETECT
Detect changes made outside the change management system
AutoSave compares the latest program copy on file in AutoSave with the program running in each device to identify any differences. If differences are found, the appropriate people are notified with an email highlighting the differences.
RECOVER
Rapidly recover from unauthorized changes
With an archive of all program revisions, you can quickly restore the latest approved program after an unauthorized change.

AutoSave can track data such as firmware, software and CPU versions in automation devices from the following vendors: Siemens, Schneider, Mitsubishi and Rockwell (support for additional device types and automation vendors will be added soon.) The capability to easily and automatically identify this information, for comparison against published threat reports, will greatly aid automation users to address vulnerabilities in their devices.
