Control System Security

We also work with you to protect your control system from harm. Connectivity of control systems to business systems invariably presents a risk in allowing access to the control environment. Using the principles of ISA99, we work with you to define and implement an Industrial Automation and Control Systems Security framework that will protect your people, plant and your valuable operational data. While the words “control system security” often conger up visions of industrial cyber terrorists hacking onto your plant, often the more real threat is in unintended release of operating data to the public domain.

Once a security framework is defined, Redwood can work with your team to ensure operational compliance is maintained. We offer unbiased third party assessments of your policies, procedures and networks including interfaces between levels of the company and external entities to audit compliance and propose remedial actions where needed.

We do work with clients to gain an advantage from the data contained within their control systems. These systems are typically the first opportunity to capture production, loss and quality metrics. Through implementation of open standards like OPC and using industry standards like ISA-S95 we link your business systems directly to productive equipment to automate and standardize the capture of asset utilization, production, downtime and quality information.
