Process Control Systems Security
Safe, reliable production operations are critical to energy and utility companies’ health and safety performance, protection of the environment and public, bottom line and reputation. The systems controlling operations are vital to achieving these goals which is why Amor’s definition of process control system security is:
“Security is taking action to provide assurance that a process control system does not deviate from normal operation for any reason.”
Amor’s rigorous lifecycle approach, ProcessSecurity+, helps organisations manage their process control systems security to deliver safe, reliable operations 24 / 7.
Security of process control systems is a priority for governments and businesses as high profile security incidents highlight the reality of the threat and have had major health, safety, environmental and financial impact on companies and their customers.
ProcessSecurity+ helps organisations identify, evaluate and actively manage their security risks including physical and cyber-attacks, both deliberate and unintentional. Our process is designed to help organisations no matter what the maturity level of their process control system security.
Our proven methodology provides a comprehensive assessment of security covering people, policies, procedures and technology. Our projects range from implementing specific security solutions, such as application whitelisting, to the ProcessSecurity+ lifecycle. This takes organisations from the very first steps of defining security policy and understanding what control systems are installed, through to implementing changes and beyond to maintain their security going forward.
Our case studies give you a taste of our recent work with a few of our global energy customers and show ProcessSecurity+ in action including full lifecycle projects, helping customers respond to audits, or to implement a specific solution such as application whitelisting.
