SCADA SECURITY

09:00 Keynote: Protecting Your SCADA System Against Cyber Security Threats

In every country, SCADA systems play an important role as part of the national critical infrastructure, i.e. electricity generation, gas pipeline operation, water work operation and many more. Utility companies need to review cyber security risks as the industry moves from proprietary technologies to cheaper Windows-based systems. Control systems are increasingly becoming open to various attacks that bedevil corporate systems, such as computer worms and denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.

• Specific approaches to assessing and measuring risk
• The common threats and dilemma between IT and plant-operation departments
• Applying an in-depth technology risk mitigation strategy to secure process control and SCADA systems

14:35 Panel Discussion: Securing SCADA In National Critical Infrastructures

SCADA systems have been in use at all of the major utilities and infrastructures for decades, but SCADA in this industry is far from a stale topic. In this roundtable session, SCADA experts will discuss:

• Investing into technology to protect national infrastructure
• Realizing the “cyber security” promise to prevent external/internal security breaches
• Upgrading your ageing SCADA systems to maximize reliability and reduce unnecessary costs
• Combining smart meters and a high-speed satellite networks to improve on standard configuration of leased phone lines, electric meters and remote terminal units
