Science & Technology - SCADA/ICS Solutions

• Are your IT and SCADA systems working well together?
• What is the best defense against cyber attack on your facilities SCADA systems?
• If your SCADA system is attacked what are the economic and ROI consequences for your firm?
• Will you be held liable for such an attack?

Cyber attacks against infrastructure and corporate IT systems are a rapidly emerging threat to business. Deterring and neutralizing these attacks is critical to ensure business continuity, minimization of damage, and recovery time.

A primary problem for SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems is that the primary weakness for forced infrastructure protection is the vulnerability of general purpose networked computers - they lack the necessary security to protect such vast, expensive, critical assets. Unlike enterprise network security, SCADA/ICS (Industrial Control Systems) compromises can have real world, life-safety impacts.

Enterprise network security breaches can cause financial consequences, compromise customer privacy, systems may need to be rebuilt, or spam can get sent, but life goes on. In comparison, a SCADA security breach can easily result in loss of life or destruction of property.

Additionally, in the real world, due to system configuration of SCADA/ICS controls, it is difficult to tell if your system was maliciously altered/reconfigured or the failure was a technical fault. TINMORE INSTITUTE has developed cost effective and efficient SCADA solutions whether performing waste-water treatment and distribution, conveying millions of kilowatts of electricity, or protecting a nuclear power plant. Security and profitability are one. Contact us today.
