Boeing and the Trusted Computing Group demonstrated how the Tofino Industrial Security Solution will be used by Boeing to manage network access and protection for legacy SCADA and control devices at Interop, held May 19-21, 2009 in Las Vegas.
Boeing, which has large numbers of programmable logic controllers (PLC), robotics systems and SCADA devices in their 777 and 787 manufacturing centers, needed an easily manageable security solution that would integrate into their corporate network infrastructure. A Tofino Security Appliance capable of supporting the new IF-MAP specification for dynamically receiving and publishing device status information was the answer.
Video Demonstration
The video below shows Scott Howard of Tofino Security demontrating the Tofino Industrial Security Solution (using IF-MAP standards from the Trusted Computing Group) to enable dynamic protection for interconnections between a control system network and an enterprise network.
