Abstract
Data protection systems and methods. One system includes comprising a network security device including a security module and a firewall. The network security device is configured as an intermediary device between laboratory equipment and a communication network. The network security device includes a memory storing one or more applications, an input/output interface configured to receive data generated by the laboratory equipment, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor configured to, through execution of the one or more applications, modify the data received from the laboratory equipment to protect sensitive data included in the data, encrypt the data, as modified, to generate a data file, transfer the data file to one or more devices over the network, and prevent network traffic from reaching the laboratory equipment.
