Semaphore Releases SCADA Security White Paper

NASHUA, NH–(EMWNews – July 17, 2008) – Semaphore, a CSE Global company, has

released a white paper that

describes the application of new SCADA security

technology, which enables compliance with emerging industry standards.

In light of provisions in NERC CIP and ANSI/ISA 99, this white paper

focuses on SCADA RTU installations and the processes they monitor and

control. Users can assess threats, both cyber and physical, and implement

measures for detection as well as prevention of intrusions and attacks in

their SCADA systems. The white paper outlines a sensible, cost-effective

approach that is based on the latest developments in SCADA.

Using Semaphore’s T-BOX and Kingfisher SCADA system product lines as

examples, the white paper provides a number of applications scenarios and

concludes with a checklist of measures for detection and prevention.

Semaphore’s T-BOX is the first, IP-based telemetry solution that enables

the complete integration of SCADA, control, and communications

functionality in one rugged package. It leverages easy-to-use Web

technologies and inexpensive public networks for decentralized, monitoring

and control systems.

The Kingfisher RTU line provides many advanced features for SCADA system

solutions, including redundant configurations, intelligent I/O, and open

programming that is compliant with IEC 61131-3 and IEC 61499. Kingfisher

systems are well suited to large, demanding measurement and control

applications that employ central stations.

Both product lines include numerous security provisions, which support

system-wide monitoring and prevention. To download the white paper visit

Semaphore’s T-BOX and Kingfisher RTU products are ideal for a broad range

of monitoring and control applications in the broadcast / telecom,

infrastructure management, oil & gas, power, transportation and water /

wastewater industries. For more information about Semaphore solutions,
