Legacy CNC factory floor
Legacy Protocol Expertise

Your machines don't need replacing.
They need a gateway.

DNS-CCN specialises in securing, connecting and monitoring the most complex legacy industrial environments. We've seen it all — from Windows 3.11 CNC controllers to DOS-based drip-feed systems — and we make them work safely in 2025 and beyond.

The DNS-CCN Approach

We don't advocate ripping out working machines. We advocate making them safe, visible, and connected.

Isolate Without Removing

Isolate Without Removing

Your legacy machines stay exactly as they are. The SEG gateway sits between the legacy network and your modern infrastructure — physically and logically separating them.

Bridge the Protocol Gap

Bridge the Protocol Gap

SMB1, FTP, Serial, RS-232, DNC — the SEG translates and proxies these protocols securely, so your machines communicate without exposing your modern network to their vulnerabilities.

Full Visibility

Full Visibility

Every file transfer, every connection attempt, every error — logged, monitored and surfaced in the DNS-CCN dashboard with real-time alerts and AI-assisted diagnostics.

Zero Production Disruption

Zero Production Disruption

Installation is non-disruptive. Machines continue running. The gateway integrates silently into your existing environment, requiring no changes to machine software or PLCs.

How Legacy Integration Works

A non-disruptive, physical gateway sits between your legacy machines and modern network — translating, isolating, and monitoring.
