Cyber Security Advisor Newsletter - Aug 2012 vol 11

This past month, cyber attacks on industrial companies were common news reports.    There has been significant damage to companies’ IT networks and infrastructure.  I’ve seen postings of their router/firewall passwords….even their CEO’s email password. We will soon see a full court press from  all sorts of IT vendors selling  their latest security innovation or products.  Buying the latest firewall might make them feel more secure, but unless it’s part of a larger program, I’m afraid they are no better off.  And let’s face it, while these vendors think they are doing the right thing, they don’t really understand the environments or safety risks our clients are challenged with daily. 

We see the need to assist our clients and are prepared to suggest a planned approach that covers a defense-in-depth model with supporting practices of Incident Response, Disaster Recovery, System Monitoring, among others.  The Invensys Critical Infrastructure and Security Practice (CISP) has the skills and the resources to help our clients no matter what industry they are in. We understand that a comprehensive cyber security program is so much more than firewalls and anti-virus. Invensys CISP is structured to help with the entire cyber security program.
