Process Control Systems Security
Amor Group has developed ProcessSecurity+, a rigorous methodology that is used to test the process control and security system of energy production process.
ProcessSecurity+ helps organisations to adhere to company and industry standards by examining key processes that include:
- Maturity assessment;
- System inventories;
- Risk assessment;
- Gap closure planning;
- Vendor liaison;
- Ongoing sustainment.
ProcessSecurity+ will identify and mitigate the risks associated with process control systems’ security (PCSS), which is recognised as an increasingly business critical issue for energy, oil and gas companies as well as governments.
Concern has risen with the migration of process control system vendors to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) computing and communications platforms, such as Windows, ethernet, TCP/IP, and the increasing interconnection of systems - a move which could potentially undermine the security of organisations’ vital process control systems.
The lack of a stringent compliance programme that was specifically tailored to PCSS rather than business systems, has resulted in Amor Group developing ProcessSecurity+, an approach that harnesses our world class expertise and experience in the oil and gas industry to help customerss safeguard vital systems and adhere to emerging UK, USA and international best practice standards.
