Invensys and the Lifecycle Approach to Security Management and Optimisation

摘要

The automation industry is moving away from proprietary technology to more open and interoperable control systems,a trend illustrated by the adoption of industrial Ethernet and commercially available wireless technologies.This development clearly increases the potential vulnerability of these systems to cyber attacks via the Internet and from other external and internal network intrusions.The implementation of security appliances in these environments is the next logical step.Security devices such as firewalls,intrusion detections systems and intrusion prevention systems require an expert to initially configure and install.
