INFORMATION SECURITY

Business networks and SCADA systems are tempting targets for those who wish to intrude, disrupt, contaminate or otherwise harm a system.

Properly assessing vulnerabilities of a utility’s information and control system requires firsthand knowledge of networks, process automation, control systems and hackers' techniques. Westin’s security experts blend extensive IT security expertise with practical experience in SCADA, operating systems and applications, networks, radio telemetry, microwave systems, PLCs and RTUs, field instrumentation, control system protocols and system utilization. We understand what could happen if a system were compromised and we know the right way to correct vulnerabilities.
