Applying NERC-CIP CAN-0024

Under the direction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) is charged with enforcing reliability standards for the Bulk Electric System (BES) in North America. Reliability standards for the BES are created under NERC’s supervision by an industry-driven process. more
 

Recorded Webinar: Strong Cyber Perimeter Protections with Unidirectional Communications

Unidirectional Gateways transmit business-critical information out of operations networks without introducing any risk to the availability, integrity or safety of control system assets inside those networks. The technology often raises questions, though, when first encountered by security practitioners accustomed to firewalls -- questions of data integrity, remote more

File Transferring ENHANCEMENTS: Version: 4.0.0.0, Revision: 2827, Issue Date: December 5th, 2011 Local Folders Channel: Previously the 'File Procedure' DLL passed the file path with '\' as the path separator character to the command line. A new tag named 'PathSeparator' is added to 'ProcedureParams' as a part of 'FileProcedure' tag. Using this tag, more
 

Recorded Webinar: Strong Cybersecurity: Power Plant Case Study

Unidirectional Security Gateways allow data to flow out of protected control networks, but prevent any information or network attacks from flowing back into those networks. While this protects control networks absolutely from external network attacks, it begs questions - What had to change at the plant to make this work? How did plant personnel react, more
 

Paranoia Means Better Security

“You need to be paranoid. You need to assume your system is under attack,” said Andrew Ginter, director of industrial security at Waterfall Security Solutions. That is part of what a user must think about when they are a victim of an advanced persistent threat (APT) like Stuxnet, Ginter said during his talk Tuesday with Joel Langill, chief technology officer at more

EMS Channel ENHANCEMENT: Version: 4.0.0.0, Revision: 2512, Issue Date: September 5th, 2011. Wait interval settings were removed since the reading mechanism of messages from the TibEMS server has changed. The EMS triggers are currently used instead of reading new messages by the interval timing. more
 

Waterfall and One Way Security

1. Waterfall Has More Control System “Connectors” A “connector” allows what is typically two-way traffic to be sent through a one-way security device. You essentially install a protocol or application client / server on both sides of their device. The secure side server gets the information as usual, then pushes it out to the insecure side server using more
