As greater demands are placed on the process industry’s digital infrastructure, threats to cyber security continue to grow. Sean Ottewell reports on one solution to ensure that automation and control products are certificated properly.
Während an die digitale Infrastruktur der Verarbeitungsindustrie größere Anforderungen gestellt werden, vergrößern sich weiterhin die Bedrohungen für die Internetsicherheit. Sean Ottewell berichtet über eine Lösung, die sicherstellt dass Produkte für Automatisierung und Kontrolle angemessen zertifiziert sind.
A mesure que de plus grandes exigences sont exercées sur l’infrastructure numérique de l’industrie de process, la sécurité cybernétique continue d’être de plus en plus menacée. Sean Ottewell commente sur une solution pour faire en sorte que les produits d’automation de contrôle soient dûment certifiés.
Cyber security D
igital infrastructure is at the heart of all process activities these days. And while the industries involved may differ, they are all dependent on large-scale computer networks
such as industrial control systems (ICS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, process control systems (PCS), or distributed control systems (DCS), to monitor, control, and safeguard their industrial operations. However, the demand for increasing connectivity between these has also brought security risks that if left alone could threaten the reliability and integrity of critical infrastructures. It was against this background that a small team
of internationally-recognised cyber security experts and industrial automation engineers founded Wurldtech in 2007 to create a suite of solutions specifically to help industrial stakeholders better identify and mitigate cyber security vulnerabilities in critical infrastructures. Today, Wurldtech counts some of the world’s largest industrial organisations as customers
certification becomes a focus of process security
and continues to be recognised as the leading provider of cyber security testing and remediation solutions to critical infrastructure suppliers, system integrators and end-users worldwide. For example, Invensys Operations Management
(IOM) a global provider of technology systems, software solutions and consulting services to the manufacturing and infrastructure operations industries, has announced that its Foxboro I/A Series distributed control system (DCS) operator workstations have passed Wurldtech’s Achilles cyber security certification test. The testing was conducted on the Foxboro
I/A Series model P92 workstation for Windows hardware and I/A Series AW70 human machine interface (HMI) software for the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, including I/A Series FoxView, FoxAlert, Alarm Manager and System Manager applications. The I/A Series model P92 workstations are
the first host-based devices (HBD) to achieve this globally recognised benchmark for communications security and robustness and join a long list of
