Last week I had the chance to attend a very interesting seminar at the Stanford Research Institute called the DHS/SRI Infosec Technology Transition Council Meeting (ITTC). It wasn’t focused on SCADA or ICS or even Stuxnet, yet some of the talks had a lot of applicability to the control systems world.

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.

Over the past month, there has been no shortage of reports on how Stuxnet is attacking the Iranian Nuclear Program. Unfortunately, good advice on what exactly Industrial Control System (ICS) owner/operators can do to protect themselves against Stuxnet (and its future offspring) is in short supply. In fact much of what passes as technical guidance is either too IT-focused or simply wrong.

Earlier this week Patrick Coyle wrote an excellent blog on Safety Integrated Systems (SIS) and why they are so important to safe industrial operations. If you are new to the SCADA and ICS world, or if you have mostly worked on non-safety related processes, I highly recommend you read his blog.
