As Distributed Control System (DCS) architectures integrate more IT-based technologies (such as Ethernet and Windows), it is important to implement a sound security strategy. This application note describes how Honeywell Process Solutions uses the Tofino Security Appliance (SA) to protect a system that is being migrated from an older TDC2000 DCS to modern Ethernet Experion™ PKS system.
Abstract: This White Paper is the first in a series on the security of OPC (OLE for Process Control) and focuses on providing an overview of the widely-used industrial communication standard and how it is actually used in industry. Based on the results of end-user surveys and interviews, it shows that the way OPC is being used may be putting the operations of major industries at risk.
