SCADA Encryption & Security

Networks that connect the control systems, plants, and distribution systems of the nation's critical infrastructure have become the new frontline of cyber warfare. Where once an enemy had to penetrate a nation's physical border to attack command and control systems, they can now accomplish the same task from anywhere in the world.

According to industry experts, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems - the computer networks that monitor and control the nation's electrical grid, gas and oil refineries, water systems, power generation and industrial processes are "in dire need of stronger safeguards".

Experts estimate that more than two-thirds of these systems are connected to an IP network or the Internet. This makes them vulnerable to all of the attack vectors plaguing every other network, including data theft, monitoring, man-in-middle attacks and DoS attacks which aim to overwhelm perimeter security devices with brute force.

CipherOptics makes it easy to secure and encrypt SCADA, Digital Control Systems (DCS) and other command and control networks. Our encryption solutions mitigate the most common attack vectors, while preserving the performance, reliability and availability these critical control systems demand.

Our solutions have been deployed on a growing number of government, municipal and utility networks. Our policy and key management system makes it easy to secure SCADA and DSC systems without adding personnel, disrupting operations, or requiring network reconfigurations.
