Control systems under attack: Part 2
RedHerring.com
Startups are seeking a way to keep hackers from monkeying with the monitoring and control SCADA systems of major Power-Gen plants in an
attempt to prevent intrusion and a potential melt-down of the U.S. power grid. (Second of three parts.)
Intrusion detection and cyber security
ControlGlobal.com
SecureSystems Insider Contributor Dale Peterson discusses current SCADA
security deficiencies within the process control community and how we need
to find compensating security controls until secure systems are available.
Shifting cyber threats menace factory floors
TheRegister.co.uk
The factory floor of a modern paper manufacturing plant is a ballet of heavy machinery and razor-sharp blades, pressing, dying, rolling, unrolling and cutting dead tree pulp by the ton. But it's something else, too: a target rich environment for cyber attacks!

Be a CONTROL Insider!
Every year we invite our readers to send us stories, suggestions, Tales from
the Front submissions, or just talk back to us. This year, we want you to
join a select group of people willing to be asked questions about issues
in the process automation arena. You won't be quoted unless we ask you
specifically. People chosen will become an official CONTROL Insider and
will receive special notice of events and even some free stuff from time
to time. If you want to be a CONTROL Insider let me know at wboyes@putman.net.

platforms and policy settings.
