White Paper of the Week

Secring Your HMI/SCADA systems

Securing Your HMI/SCADA Systems

As critical infrastructure protection takes on renewed importance, the need to extend general security and protective measures to HMI/SCADA environments becomes paramount.

White Paper Abstract

GE Fanuc Automation recognizes the need for companies to take a closer look at these systems, assess the threats that may impact them, and take steps to ensure that they are adequately protected. The information in this whitepaper is intended to provide a starting point for initiating and building a secure HMI/SCADA system and offer resources for extending and sustaining that effort.
