The world’s manufacturing, energy and transportation infrastructures are currently facing a serious security crisis. These critical systems are largely based on legacy SCADA and Industrial Control System (ICS) products and protocols. Many of these products are decades old and were never designed with security in mind.
The good news is that there is an effective and easy-to-deploy solution to this security crisis. Using an advanced technology called “Deep Packet Inspection” (DPI), SCADA-aware firewalls offer fine-grained control of control system traffic.
