Computer Solutions
sophisticated applications such as Endpoint Protector from Cososys enable centralised control and include reporting functionality, the ability to enable/disable specific USB devices and to force encryption of data to prevent its loss. Norman Data Defense Systems offers a number of means
by which organisations can protect against potential threats. Norman Network Protection (NNP) is a network gateway appliance that is simply added to the network and to perform real-time malware scanning, malware isolation, outbreak prevention and damage control. With Norman Device Control, organisations can enforce
USB security for removable devices, and also provide encryption and port protection.
Zero day vulnerabilities
Part of the Phoenix Contact group, Innominate offers its mGuard technology to protect against zero day vulnerabilities that would not be detected immediately by antivirus software due to being previously unknown - as was the situation with Stuxnet (Fig. 3). Innominate’s mGuard is available as an OEM product
that provides monitoring of configurable sets of files on PCs for unexpected modifications of executables. When it initialises, mGuard computes a baseline of
signatures for monitored objects, then it periodically checks for any deviations; potential threats can therefore be identified without having to rely on a library of known virus signatures. Independent research showed this method would have provided zero day detection of Stuxnet. Byres Security has developed the Tofino Security
Appliance that can be considered as a firewall tailored to protect industrial end point devices such as programmable logic controllers, distributed control systems (DCSs), remote terminals, human-machine interfaces and diverse microprocessor-based devices. To meet the requirements of critical infrastructure
protection, Nitrosecurity offers specialised systems for comprehensive monitoring of SCADA and distributed control systems networks, protocols, applications and databases. Protection of critical systems is achieved by the use
of intrusion protection and prevention systems to provide perimeter protection, which can adapt to threats during an incident in order to maintain security. Nitroview reporting software automates the notification and reporting of security events and exceptions/violations.
Risk against costs
Managing industrial control system security is always a question of balancing risk against costs, bearing in mind that 100 per cent protection is usually unrealistic and prohibitively expensive. Therefore the new challenge has to be one of accepting that a security breach is inevitable, and planning for that event. Not only must resilient systems be designed, incorporating
best-of-breed layered defences, but there also needs to be a contingency plan and a disaster recovery plan. The relentless development of malware, together with the
ever-changing threat, also requires a sustained approach to control system security. l

HELPING YOU CREATE THE FUTURE
2D/3D BEAM OPTICS & CHARGED PARTICLE TRAJECTORY ANALYSIS
Lorentz has been rewritten from the ground up. The bottom line is improved productivity.
For users familiar with Lorentz, the fl ow of the program is now quite intuitive with many new options readily available.
For new users, the speed, accuracy and ease-of-use have to be seen.
