industrial network security

Finding a way to determine the right level of investment in ICS and SCADA Security has been an ongoing challenge for industry. In an earlier article the Total Cost of Ownership approach for calculating investment level was described. Today I present another method called Value at Risk (VaR).

In my last blog, I mentioned that one of the good things about Invensys winning the Breakthrough Product of the Year Award for 2010 for the Triconex Tofino OPC Firewall was that it may indicate that industrial network security for control and SCADA systems is becoming mainstream in the engineering world.

Recently a partner of ours, Invensys Operations Management, won the prestigious Breakthrough Product of the Year Award for 2010 from Processing Magazine. They won it for a product that we helped engineer, the Triconex Tofino OPC Firewall.

We think this is a big deal for two reasons. Obviously one reason is that a product we help create won a major award – pretty cool.
