Securing SCADA Industrial Automation and Control Systems
Securing Critical Infrastructure Sectors
The Stuxnet attack in 2010 might have been the most consequential cyber attack ever thanks to its success in changing the geopolitical landscape. The recently discovered Duqu (some called it "Son of Stuxnet") could prove to be another deadly malware that could have a devastating impact on the security and availability of critical infrastructure. The attacks on various SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)-based industrial automation and control systems by Stuxnet exposed a tidal wave of vulnerabilities in civil infrastructure such as power grids, nuclear plants, oil/gas, water systems, and building technologies.Most SCADA systems are not connected to the Internet for security reasons, making them also difficult to be secured by traditional web-based firewalls and intrusion prevention systems from most major security vendors, which typically do not support non-web protocols. Bayshore's products are multi-protocol, supporting web, non-web, and offline applications, and are uniquely positioned to provide a cyber shield for industrial control systems around the globe. Our SingleKey™ SCADA Firewall is built specifically to address the challenges in securing SCADA systems.
The Department of Homeland Security has designated 18 industry sectors that are considered critical to our national security, our public health and safety, and the economic security of the United States. These critical infrastructure sectors include banking/finance, commercial and government facilities (building technologies), energy, water, and transportation systems, among others. Bayshore is working with our industrial partners to add protocol support to many of these critical infrastructure sectors. Our SingleKey™ SCADA Firewall provides a powerful application protection platform to ensure the integrity and availability of the services delivered by the most critical industry sectors.
Securing Smart Grid
Major infrastructure vendors such as GE, ABB, Siemens, and Cisco are competing for the $200 billion revenue opportunities in the build-out of smart grid infrastructure in the next 5-10 years. However, none of these infrastructure companies have a solution that can provide the critical security platform for smart grid. Leveraging our multi-protocol application protection platforms, Bayshore is in a strong position to capture a significant market share in the multi-billion-dollar smart grid security market.
