14 DAY TRIAL // Ultra Electronics – a company that provides defense, security, transport and energy equipment and software solutions – has announced that it plans to launch its new generation SCADA protection system, EnergyGuard, at the upcoming Oil & Gas ICS Cyber Security Forum.
EnergyGuard has been utilized by the US Department of Defense for the last three years.
The solution’s capabilities have been put to the test by the US Department of Homeland Security’s National SCADA Test Bed.
“SCADA is where cyber security meets the physical world. EnergyGuard is designed to protect the devices at the critical edge of the network interfacing with the real world,” said Nigel Mackie, Ultra Group's cyber security director.
“It acts as a personal bodyguard, providing defence-in-depth protection from cyber (including network) and physical attack. It does this by integrating a number of discrete protection mechanisms to assure regulated access and communication with the more vulnerable and critical control and monitoring devices.”
