SECURITY IS A CHALLENGE

In today’s challenging times, many kinds of industrial facilities have been identified as potential targets. Given this reality, you need a strong partner who can stand with you through the maze of challenges that you face in providing an effective security solution for your industrial site.

Competition in industry has traditionally driven the evolution of control systems. Over a decade ago, most control systems were autonomous and built upon proprietary vendor technology and the solutions were geared towards access to data, speed, and functionality (or reliability). Now most industries with control systems1 are facing many pressures to both allow access to data and to secure it.

Regardless of the potential harm, any industry with little or no security in and around their control system will at least lose production for some time. This can translate into re-work, overtime, environmental release, and other intangibles such as competitive edge, investor confidence and potentially the ability to stay in business. The new push for control systems is to try to balance the two opposing trends: Access and Security.

The advancing age of the workforce in general means many industries are automating more control of their assets and expecting the same staff to manage & optimize more resources thereby increasing their reliance on computers. In these cases the challenge is to find a way to make process control environments as secure as possible without breaking the control systems along the way.

RUDIMENT OF SECURITY PRACTICE

Security is important to any organization. The owners and operators of the systems, the support staff, the consultants, vendors, site staff, in short everyone, understands that keeping your facility secure is in everyone’s best interest. However, Without rank and file team members who understand their role and the importance of their actions (or inaction) at your site, you will not succeed in securing your facility.

The Fact remains that your internal, trusted employees have the greatest opportunity to cause or create a security breach intentionally or otherwise. True, lasting security is an on-going initiative, simply due to the fact that security concerns are brought about by continuously changing technology . However, if any of those efforts cause a change in the day-to-day business flow for your employees then you will need to explain to them why these changes are necessary. Your security program will live and die based on how well your employees receive and embrace it.

SECURITY INCIDENT

The change you make to your current environment towards securing it is going to cost something whether it is time, money, or access to your data. No matter how you do proceed, there is a very good chance that you will still have some sort of incident at some point in time. A security incident can be catastrophic system failure or subtle inappropriate access to data or an IO room. The true measure of your security program will be in how well contained the incident is, how quickly you recover, and if you choose to learn and benefit from it. An incident is going to happen at some point regardless of how well you prepare or how hard you try to avoid it.

The true measure of your security readiness is going to be how well you handle an incident when it happens. Processes which facilitate incident handling include;
1. Team notification,
2. Escalation procedures during an incident,
3. Containment procedures (for slowing or stopping the spread of viruses),
4. Interim measures for resuming business and post-incident analysis.

DISASTER RECOVERY

Disaster recovery DR plans are easier to implement and are much more practical to implement. At the very least you should try to create plans for recovering or restoring your most critical assets in your first year, then as you progress with your security plan you can expand the scope to include less critical but still integral components of your network infrastructure. Testing the restoration or recovery of your system at some time as part of your DR plan is a must, if you want your system to work or properly backed up.
